Prerequisites for Understanding the Role of the Media System for Deliberative Democracy: 20 Years of Media System Research in Croatia

Summary/Abstract: The paper continues previous research of media and communication discipline in Croatia and presents part of the results from the first Croatian case study on the international scientific research project MEDIADELCOM. We analyze scientific and professional production in the last two decades (2000- 2020) and provide an overview of texts that thematically cover four conceptual domains of the media system – Legal framework for freedom of expression and information, Journalism, Media usage patterns and Media related competences of the audience – which create opportunities or risks for the realization of deliberative communication, i.e. deliberative democracy. The analysis sample consists of some 500 scientific, professional and conference papers, chapters in books and conference proceedings, research reports, etc., collected from various national and international databases. The analysis indicates the unevenness of interest in certain domains and research topics, as well as the change of research focuses and methods in certain decades.
