Abstract
This paper focuses on the ownership of print media in the interwar period (1918-1941) in the territory of the Kingdom of Serbs, Croats and Slovenes (1918-1929), and in its successor state, the Kingdom of Yugoslavia (1929-1941). This period, marked by political turmoil, was also characterized by a high illiteracy rate and low newspaper readership. Nevertheless, various types of newspapers were present on the market, ranging from informative daily newspapers to magazines, and party newspapers. In the interwar period large publishing companies such as Tipografija and Jugoštampa were established (both in Zagreb in 1920) as well as the first news agency Avala (in 1919 in Belgrade). This paper will investigate the various types of print media ownership during the interwar period in Yugoslavia. It will also provide an account of the journalistic profession and media laws in this period and offer a list of the most important daily newspapers along with accompanying data on their owners, editors-in-chief and circulation.
