The article focuses on the process that led to the creation of the Non-Aligned News Agencies Pool (NANAP) and the factors that shaped its emergence. The author explains the emergence of NANAP by three groups of factors. The first were interests and strategies of Yugoslav political elites and of Yugoslavia's Tanjug news agency. While Tanjug was interested in increasing its global reach and position on the global marketplace of news agencies, federal political elites saw Tanjug as an important tool of foreign policy. Yugoslavia was actively pushing to institutionalize informational cooperation within NAM already in the run-up to the IV. NAM summit in Algiers, even though objective conditions were deemed minimal. The second factor are changes in international relations, as NANAP emerged in the context of the institutionalization of the Non-Aligned Movement (NAM) in the 1970s and its efforts to build "self-sufficiency" in order to increase its position within the global economy and bargaining power vis-a-vis the developed countries. NANAP therefore recontextualized Tanjug's bilateral news exchange agreements into a multilateral project of economic cooperation within NAM, aimed at strengthening mutual understanding and gaining independence from global (primarily Western) news sources. Finally, the development of NANAP was shaped by the institutional history of the movement, as NANAP was conceived and institutionalized in the mold of pre-existing forms of economic cooperation. To respect the movement's decentralized ethos Yugoslavia had to downplay and disguise its significant degree of involvement in establishing NANAP and other forms of informational cooperation and present them as multilateral projects with a broad basis of support within NAM.

Our study uses big data analysis to examine the influence of Marxism on communication studies throughout its history. We track citations of Marxist authors and the use of Marxist concepts in the titles, keywords, or abstracts of publications in the Web of Science scholarly database in the category of communication. We find that Marxian authors and ideas were almost completely absent from the mainstream of media studies until the end of the Cold War. The end of the Cold War and the Great Recession of 2008 significantly increased citations of Marxist authors. We use network analysis to identify different currents of thought or paradigmatic appropriations of Marxism within communication studies and identify five clusters of appropriation of Marx's ideas within communication studies: Theories of Democracy, Political Economy of Communication, Critique of Power Relations, Feminism and Antiracism, and Critical Discourse Analysis.

Članak istražuje veze između povjerenja u novinarstvo i korištenja medija. Autori pronalaze kako je veza između učestalosti korištenja medija u svrhu informiranja i povjerenja u novinarstvo vrlo slaba: ona je statistički značajna na razini 0,5 za gledanje televizije, ali ne i za slušanje radija, čitanje novina ili korištenje interneta. Autori pronalaze indikacije polariziranosti po stranačkim linijama, s obzirom na to da oni koji prate desno orijentirane medije (osobito one vezane uz Slovensku Demokratsku Stranku) pokazuju nižu razinu povjerenja u novinarstvo. ; The article investigates the connections between trust in journalism and media use. The authors fi nd that the connection between frequency of media use for informative purposes and trust in journalism is very weak, being statistically signifi cant at the 0.05 level for television viewing but not for radio listening, newspaper reading or use of the internet. The authors fi nd indications of polarisation along partisan lines, since those respondents who follow right-wing media (especially those associated with the Slovenian Democratic Party) exhibit a lower level of trust in journalism.
