Специфичности мађарске штампе у Војводини између два светска рата
Specifics of Hungarian Press in Vojvodina between the Two Wars

Summary/Abstract: With the breakup of the Austro-Hungarian empire following the first world war, with the founding of Kingdom of Serbs-Croats-Slovenians on the 1st of December 1918 and the Trianon peace treaty in 1920, the Hungarians in Vojvodina became a minority. Therefore an entire new chapter followed in their political, social, industrial and cultural lives. The period of living as a minority, independent literary and cultural life, which was the polar opposite of their previous life, aimed at creating an independent, specific path of development. This new approach is best seen in Hungarian minority press in Vojvodina. Only two titles remain from the earlier period: Bácsmegyei Napló (Diary of Bacsmegye) from Subotica and Torontal from Nagybecskerek – Zrenjanin; also two new titles were issued: Delbacska (South Bacska) in Novi Sad, Hirlap (Gazette) I Subotica and Kozakarat (Public Will) in Nagybecskerek. It should be noted that approximately 200 other Hungarian press titles were present in the period between the two world wars in Vojvodina. All these press titles were characterized by a difficult material status and the struggles to survive, struggles with cencorship and the search for themes and possibilities of expression, and also the appearance of journalistic sensationalism.
