OSNIVANJE HRVATSKOGA NOVINARSKOG DRUŠTVA
CROATIAN JOURNALISTS’ ASSOCIATION. FROM THE FIRST IDEAS AND PREPARATIONS TO ESTABLISHMENT (1877 – 1910)

Summary/Abstract: The Croatian Association of Journalists has existed for 90 years, and yet its historical survey has still not been written, nor have any comprehensive reviews of the more important issues or certain periods of its existence been done. Little has been written, even less researched. This initially inspired this study which is, in addition to a critical evaluation of relatively modest bibliography, mostly based on original material from the Association's Archives (AHND). Having in mind the broader framework of political and social circumstances in Croatia and the Habsburg Monarchy, the programmatic conceptions of models of association and reasons for numerous unsuccessful ventures have been presented, as well as an attempt at creating a common "class" organization within the framework of the Writers' Guild (1900). Furthermore, the 1907 preparations are mentioned and finally the closing process of constituting the Association, in the autumn of 1910. Enclosed in the study is an overview of sources and bibliography list.
