Propaganda and Gender in Cold War Satire
This article examines the portrayal of women in visual propaganda in three Eastern European communist regimes, Albania, Macedonia (Yugoslavia), and the Soviet Union, using a comparative analysis of state-sponsored satirical magazines: Hosteni, Osten, and Krokodil. Drawing on a dataset of 1,125 cover images from 1966 to 1978, we show that these publications were not merely forms of entertainment but deliberate instruments of ideological framing us…
Attribution of global ethical norms
This study examines, by comparative thematic analysis, public perceptions of global journalistic norms of independence and integrity by studying perceptions of news media corruption in three Eastern European countries: Serbia, Macedonia and Croatia. In-depth interviews with 61 representatives of the three nations revealed that, in the public eye, the breaches of journalistic independence and integrity are frequent and take different forms. The pa…

Croatia, a European Union (EU) member, and Macedonia, an EU candidate, have followed the European dual broadcasting model and therefore should have well-developed public service broadcasting (PSBs). However, these two television stations today are non-functioning centra…

It also looks at the legal environment that sets the rules or lack of such of engagement with political and economic forces. The authors conclude that Macedonian media cannot be set outside the regressive political process. At the beginning of the 1990s it seemed that the media were part of the…
