| Title | Austrian and German Quality Daily Newspapers and Croatia's Road to Independence |
| Summary | The aim of this thesis was to analyse the editorials and reporting on Croatia in the period between April 1990 and January 1992 in several quality daily newspapers, the Frankfurter Allgemeine Zeitung, the Süddeutsche Zeitung and the Tageszeitung from Germany, and Der Standard and Die Presse from Austria. Even though a pro-Croatian bias was expected due to the political support Croatia received from these countries, the newspapers analysed herein represent a broad political spectrum, allowing for differences in opinion and the extent of bias. To show how these newspapers approached and chose to represent the events in Croatia, I used a qualitative framing analysis. Results showed that all newspapers identified and focused on Croats as the victims and Serbs as the aggressors during the hostilities, but with a varying degree of bias. Towards the end of 1991 the international recognition of Croatia became the dominant frame of the reporting and the respective national newspapers turned to their own politicians' role in the process. |
