Reflexe národnostní situace v Chorvatsku v první polovině roku 1971 záhřebským deníkem Vjesnik a bělehradským listem Politika

This study is a contribution to the analysis of the development of ethnic relations in Croatia during the period of the so-called "mass movement". Its primary aim is to describe to what extent problems associated with the ethnic question were present in the public sphere in the second-largest republic of the Yugoslav Federation in the first half of 1971. On the basis of detailed analysis of all of the formats of text published in Vjesnik, the most important Croatian daily newspaper, we have attempted to determine to what extent the population of Croatia in the first six months of 1971 had the possibility of acquiring information about inter-ethnic relations within the framework of their own republic from this daily paper. For comparison, we have supplemented the research with analysis of texts published in the period studied by by the most significant Serbian daily Politika that relate to the ethnic question in Croatia.
