Summary/Abstract: This text brings comments on newspaper articles on orthography dealing with the publication of Croatian Orthography by Babić-Finka-Moguš (2000) and The Orthography of Croatian Language by Anić-Silić (2001.). Since these two orthographies are the continuations of different traditions – the Babić-Finka-Moguš orthography follows the tradition of Broz whereas the Anić-Silić orthography follows the tradition of Novi Sad – Croatian public has divided into the followers and opponents of one or the other tradition and the newspaper became the arena of a fiery and sensationalist discussion about the orthography called the orthographic war.
