Abstract

In Croatian media, public discourse about responsibility/guilt appears in several different themes, out of which this study focuses on the following three. The first could be labeled as criminal responsibility/guilt, such as the issue of war crimes committed by Croats throughout the war or the various corruption scandals that marked the second half of the last decade. The second theme could be called political responsibility, and within it the media often put forward economic issues, such as the failed process of privatization, the high unemployment rates, various issues regarding Croatia's approach towards the European Union, and other current political issues. The third is moral responsibility, which is the least tangible of all, because it is mostly concerned with what somebody failed to do or prevent.
