The Analysis of Headlines in Croatian Daily Papers on The Welcome of The National Football Team in 1998 and in 2018

Završni rad Analiza napisa u hrvatskim dnevnim novinama o dočeku nogometaša 1998. i 2018. godine bavi se kvantitativnom analizom novinskih formi, zastupljenosti pojedinih autora i naslovnica u dnevnim novinama: Večernji list, Jutarnji list, Slobodna Dalmacija i Novi list u razdoblju od osam dana, od 12. srpnja do 19. srpnja 1998. godine i od 16. srpnja do 23. srpnja 2018. godine. U radu je potvrđena hipoteza, od koje se i polazilo, a to je da je doček nogometaša 2018. godine zauzeo više medijskog prostora u odabranim dnevnim novinama nego što je to bilo 1998. godine. Nadalje, doček nogometaša 2018. godine bit će zapamćen po nevjerojatnom izlasku ljudi na ulice hrvatskih gradova, mnogo masovnijem nego što je bilo dvadeset godina prije. O tome govori i činjenica da je nogometaše 2018. godine dočekalo oko pola milijuna ljudi samo na ulicama Zagreba. U radu je prikazan i razvoj modernog sporta u Hrvatskoj, kojem pripada i nogomet. Radom je prikazana i veza nogometa i politike, kao i informacija da su, bez obzira na pad naklade tiskanih novina, sportske rubrike dovoljno popularne i rado čitane. Rad slijedi i kronološki put obiju reprezentacija na svjetskim prvenstvima 1998. i 2018. godine.The final work “The Analysis of Headlines in Croatian Daily Papers on The Welcome of The National Football Team in 1998 and in 2018” deals with the quantitative analysis of newspaper forms, the representation of certain authors and headlines in daily newspapers, such as „Večernji list“, „Jutarnji list“, „Slobodna Dalmacija“ and „Novi list“ during a weekly period between July 12 to July 19, 1998 and between July 16 and July 23, 2018. The final work confirm the thesis that the welcome of the national football team in 2018 took over more media space than the one in 1998. Furthermore, the welcome given in 2018 will be forever remembered by the astounding amount of people in the streets of Croatian cities. Number that surpasses the one from 1998. The fact that approximately half a million people were in the streets solely in Zagreb confirms this. The final work also shows the progress of modern sport in Croatia, particularly that of football. Throughout the dissertation, the connection between football and national politics is also shown, as well as the information that notwithstanding the fall in the number of readers of printed media, sports sections are in fact fairly popular and well read. The final work follows the chronological order of representations in the World Cup of the years 1998 and 2018
