Pola stoljeća učenja o novinarstvu
Half a Century of the Study of Journalism

Summary/Abstract: The main aim of the paper is to provide a chronological overview of the development and history of the study of journalism at the Faculty of Political Science from its foundation in 1970 to the present day. Four key periods are identified in the paper, i.e.: 1) the one-year and two-year study period; 2) the four-year study period; 3) the period of implementation of practical work in journalism studies; 4) the period of implementation of the Bologna reform. The paper relies on records, published texts and transcripts of conversations with professors of political science and journalism who, in various ways, participated in the development of this study at the Faculty of Political Sciences, which now spans more than 50 years. The main part of the work is focused on recording the facts that were relevant for upgrading the study of journalism and what the study is today in the Croatian context. This paper confirms that the only constant in the development of the study of journalism is the constant re-examination of the conception and reform thereof as extensively as possible. Digital technology requires quick response, knowledge and skills, but the concern for fair access to the journalism profession has remained the same throughout the decades.
