Gojka Bezovan's (2005) definition of Company Social Responsibility (CSR) is quoted, & Scott M. Cutlip's et al (2000) research of CSR in the US is briefly discussed, pointing out the importance of positive social image in conducting business activities & noting the billions of dollars spent on CSR in that country. The crucial role played by mass media in communicating businesses' CSR to the public is recognized, & Croatian print media are surveyed to determine how much attention & space they devote to CSR. A study by the firm MediaNet is summarized, examining, in a quantitative analysis, the number of newspaper articles devoted to CSR & reporting on the distribution of CSR actions across various domains of public interest (eg, the development of human resources, environmental protection, charitable donations, etcetera). It is found that CSR is not one of the dominant themes for Croatian newspaper editors & journalists, as editorials & news features on CSR represent only a negligible portion of journalistic texts. It is concluded that Croatian journalists are eager to emulate their Western colleagues in all the vices the profession is accused of -- sensationalism, fact distortion, & disregard of personal privacy -- but not in the virtues of serving the public good.

Reporters' work from a country at war is eventually subjected to censorship. That the job of war correspondents is dangerous has been proved by the number of journalists who are killed every year & by certain "rules of wartime journalism." The article looks into some forms of wartime censorship in the earlier NATO military actions, describes the censorship during the aggression on the Republic of Croatia, &, on the basis of the available information, addresses the relevant situation in SR Yugoslavia. When this article was written (May 1999), NATO's military intervention in that country was still going on; consequently, newspaper censorship was still very much in force there. 25 References.

Based on the party archives, newspaper archives and literature recovery, the author presents the political programs and activities of the Croatian Party of Rights (HSP) from 1990 to 1992. This work analyzes the political aims of the party, the most important personalities associated with it during this period, the significance of its electioneering as well as of its results in the election of 1992. Once the multiparty system was established, HSP was rebuilt by Dobroslav Paraga and Ante Paradzik. The main party's program was the establishment of an independent Croatian state. Political action of HSP resulted in political killings, political trials of leading party officials and the Party's schism. The fundamental obstacle to renewal and further development of HSP was the Croatian Democratic Union and its attitude towards HSP. Adapted from the source document.

Croatian newspapers (dailies, magazines, & a few journals) were studied over several months in 1997. While the review was not comprehensive, the analysis reveals a picture of the typical newspaper as very prone to error. The errors that result from haste, hard working conditions, & obsolete technology are excusable, but the flagrant carelessness & even ignorance show disrespect for readers & the profession. Journalism is advancing fast, but there are certain well-known basics that can be easily learned. There is no excuse for ignorance-based errors, as there is no justification for a surgeon who would -- due to ignorance -- amputate a healthy instead of a diseased leg. But, what to say about the intentional, deliberate distortion of facts? It is unforgivable not to inform the public about the opinions of the president or the Governor of the National Bank or to give the true dimensions of a crime. This is the dark side of Croatian journalism, which may be rectified by educated professionals who respect the rules of the profession & whose primary concerns are not ideological connotations & drifts.

Was Wesley Clark, NATO's commander-in-chief, right when he said that, instead of launching operation 'Allied Force' against it, the allies should have electronically isolated SR Yugoslavia? Yugoslav hackers & crackers used to good advantage the freedom of cyberspace. During NATO's intervention, they declared a real 'virtual war' to all the countries supportive of this campaign, particularly to the US. By swooping down by all available means on numerous official web pages of various American institutions & totally abusing the communicational freedoms on the Net, Yugoslav hackers in fact demonstrated a small part of the possibilities of the new e-force. However, the deleterious consequences of Yugoslav online users' activities were so harmful that they prodded the international community into issuing a blunt warning to the Serbian Telecom -- we shall switch you off from the Internet! The objective of this research is primarily to evidence a totally novel phenomenon on the Internet, the first organized virtual war taking place in cyberspace, at the time when a real military campaign was waged against SRY. One of the outcomes of these activities was 'striking out' the documents from the Net that had been preserved only in Mucalo & Svilicic's archive. There are no additional scientific resources, since the key sources for this article were the Internet & newspaper articles. Although envisaged as a medium available to all, the Internet must soon be safeguarded & protected by legal means. Otherwise, it might simply cave in under the onslaught of all abuses & innumerable viruses circulating the global cyberspace. Due to the increase in the number of users & services, it may be expected that soon a completely new branch of criminal law is to emerge -- computer crime. 2 Figures, 21 References.
