Abstract

Promjena političkog sustava iz jednopartijskog sustava pod kontrolom Saveza komunista u višetranačje u Hrvatskoj, velikosrpski nacionalizam koji je ubrzao raspad Jugoslavije, te naposljetku ratni sukob, sve je to potaklo obračun nove vlasti sa svima koji su im bili sumnjivi ili nepodobni. U državnim medijima posebice na HRT-u i u novinskoj kući Vjesnik, nepodobnima su proglašavani upravo oni koji su u vrijeme zalaza jednog sustava bili poznati kao kritični i slobodnomisleći. Najčešće se radilo o iskusnim novinarima kojima vlast nije mogla nametnuti obrasce ponašanja. Neka poznata lica malih ekrana, preko noći su zamijenjena drugim licima, a mnogima je oduzeto pravo na rad u novinarstvu. Hrvatska televizija (HTV), u to vrijeme jedina televizija u Hrvatskoj, predstavljala je veliki izvor moći za stranku na vlasti- Hrvatsku Demokratsku Zajednicu (HDZ). Kako bi osigurao kontrolu nad moćnim televizijskim medijima, HDZ je , postavivši na rukovodeće pozicije svoje ljude od povjerenja, zavladao tom ustanovom ili kako ju početkom devedesetih nazvao jedan od njenih generalnih ravnatelja- katedralom hrvatskog duha. Ljudi su s televizije odlazili primjenom raznih metoda, a gotovo u pravilu stradavali su oni koje se smatralo politički nepodobnima, i mahom, zaposlenici i novinari srpske nacionalnosti (čak i oni iz miješanih brakova). Rat u Hrvatskoj poslužio je kao dobra krinka za obračun s onima koji su smetali, a uklanjanje nepodobnih samo bio je i način da se zastraše ostali. Odgovor na čistke ljudi koji nisu bili nizašto krive bila je uglavnom šutnja. Iz različitih razloga, te su priče ostale na marginama prvih godina samostalne i neovisne Hrvatske. Zato je ovaj rad mali doprinos usmenoj povijest medija i za cilj ima progovoriti o stvarima o kojima se još i danas rijetko čuje.

Abstract (english)

The change of the political system in Croatia from a single-party, controlled by the League of Communists, to a multi-party, the Greater Serbian nationalism that expedited the breakup of Yugoslavia and ultimately the war, were all contributing factors that prompted the new government to deal with anyone deemed suspicious or ineligible. In fact, those that had been considered critical and free-thinking at the time when the old system was coming to a close were suddenly proclaimed as ineligible by the national media, especially the Croatian Radiotelevision (HRT) and the newspaper Vjesnik. These individuals were mostly experienced journalists who would not accept the patterns of behaviour the government tried to impose on them. A number of familiar TV faces were replaced by new ones overnight, and many were deprived of the right to work as journalists. The Croatian Television (HTV), the only TV station in Croatia at the time, represented a great source of power to the political party in power – the Croatian Democratic Union (HDZ). In order to secure control over the powerful television media, the Croatian Democratic Party brought some of its trusted people to the managerial positions of that institution, or as it was referred to by one of its managing directors at the beginning of the 1990s – the cathedral of the Croatian spirit. People were made to leave the TV-station using various methods and those subject to the purge were the ones mostly considered politically ineligible and, as a rule, Serbian employees and journalists (even including those from mixed marriages). The war in Croatia served as a good pretext for dealing with those who were found bothersome, while getting rid of the unsuitable individuals was just meant to be a warning to the rest. The questions raised relating to the political purge of innocent individuals were mainly answered with silence. For various reasons, these stories have remained on the margins of the first years of independent and autonomous Croatia. Therefore, this thesis is a small contribution to the oral history of the media and is intended to address the issues that are still rarely addressed today.
