The journalistic profession is subject to several reporting standards, primarily ethical principles and codes. Truthfulness, honesty, accuracy, balance, and impartiality are fundamental features of any reporting. War is an extraordinary situation, which puts to the test all human values, both personal and professional. Being a journalist when your own country is at war, especially when it is a victim of an aggressor, is a big challenge. Preserving the integrity and ethical principles of one's profession, not endangering one's country and people, raising morale, being objective, and staying alive, were difficult tasks for every journalist during the war years in Croatia. For Šibenik and the Šibenik area, one of the largest war areas in Dalmatia, the September War by which Šibenik was defended, and the military-police Operation Storm, which marked the final beginning of the end of the Homeland War in Croatia, are significant. At that time, the editorial offices of Šibenski list, Slobodna Dalmacija, and Radio Šibenik were active in Šibenik, which played important roles in informing the population about the war. Judging by the archived editions, the most common genres are reports and reportages, while articles to raise morale predominate. There is no significant difference in the way of reporting from the beginning and end of the war. Šibenik journalists reported objectively and following professional standards, which makes them true witnesses of that time.
