The Media on the Subject of Media Literacy in the Croatian Education System

Media literacy, which has been rapidly developing in many European countries during the past decades, is still at its beginning in Croatia. It remains excluded from the formal education programmes. Meanwhile, there are various informal types of media education dedicated to information and media literacy, usually thanks to the efforts of non-governmental organisations (Labaš, 2015). What kind of impact did Croatian Internet news portals have on media literacy, and what is their position on it and its place in the education system during the debate about the curricular reform, and were they encouraging debate with the interested public in this period? This paper aims to answer these questions by investigating the news portals\u27 writings (Večernji list, Jutarnji list, Slobodna Dalmacija, Novi list, Glas Slavonije and 24 sata) in the time period between 1 January and 1 July 2016
