Free sample of MediaScan

MediaScan is a daily review of reports on current affairs and business/economy in the Croatian media, published from Monday to Friday. It is available exclusively through subscription, and is delivered by e-mail or fax. It is published in English.

The choice of articles is biased towards politics (approximately 60 percent) and business/economy (approximately 40 percent). Every issue is approximately 5 pages long, containing 4,000-5,000 words. It brings a brief coverage of the previous night's prime time TV news and current printed press. The latter includes a selection of items from the evening editions of the two most prominent metropolitan daily papers, the previous day's items from other major papers and from all the major weekly current affairs magazines.

MediaScan serves as an unbiased interface between the Croatian media and international officials, regional and international businesses, journalists, media houses, researchers and others interested in Croatian affairs and developments as seen in the media landscape.

MediaScan provides a neutral vantage point, advocating no side in the complex tangle of parties, organizations, interest groups, factions and groups dominating the Croatian political, social and business scene. On occasion, the editorial staff does offer an opinion, in order to provide background or as a cross-reference to grant readers a better understanding of an affair. Such interpolations, however, are clearly marked to avoid confusion with quoted and reviewed material.

A trial subscription to MediaScan is available free of charge for one week.
