Autor u radu donosi prikaz izvještaja zagrebačkih novina Jutarnji list i Obzor te tjednika Hrvatska Straža, kao i koprivničkog tjednika Podravske novine o potresu iz 1938. godine koji se snažno osjetio u Podravini, a u određenoj mjeri i na širem prostoru sjeverozapadne Hrvatske te dijelom i u susjednim zemljama. Potres je izazvao materijalne štete na objektima i zabrinutost među pučanstvom pogođenih područja.The author presents a brief overview of Jutarnji list and Obzor dailies and Hrvatska Straža weekly from Zagreb, as well as Koprivnica’s Podravske novine weekly newspaper about 1938 earthquake, which was strongly felt in Podravina and to some extent in northwestern Croatia and some neighboring countries. The earthquake caused material damage to buildings and concern among the population. Zagreb’s daily Jutarnji List dedicated full attention to the earthquake in Podravina and the greater area, while the Obzor covered the earthquake in just a few brief statements. On the other hand, the earthquake was quite extensively covered by the dailies, Zagreb’s Hrvatska Straža and Koprivnica’s Podravske novine
