Summary/Abstract: In this article, I present an annotated (re)reading of selected research and writings on mass communication and the development of socialist democracy in Yugoslavia that I published in the final 20 years of this multinational federation’s existence prior to its sudden and violent collapse. The article is conceived as a reappraisal of key ideas and results of certain research I designed and conducted in the 1970s and 1980s up until Slovenia attained its independence in 1991. They include a range of diverse topics like communication among the republics in Yugoslavia, foreign radio propaganda, news gathering and editorial gate-keeping, the performance of the Tanjug news agency, as well as the development of communication science as a scientific discipline in the federation.
