Diploma thesis Presentation of corruption in the Croatian media on the example of the Software affair analyzes newspaper articles and headlines on the subject of the Software affair from three Croatian news portals: Telegram, Index.hr and Jutarnji list. The research is conducted on articles published in the period from November 10, 2021 to December 6, 2022. The aim of the work is to determine the importance of the media's role in uncovering corruption and reporting it to the public. An equally important goal is to assess the depth, i.e. the thoroughness of the investigation into the Software affair. The theoretical part of this paper presents the problem in a descriptive and explanatory way by first presenting the conceptual definition of corruption, after which the forms and types of corruption are presented. Namely, due to the different views on corruption, as well as its many divisions, it is of fundamental importance to present the above in order to better understand the subject of the research. For the same reasons, it is equally important to present the issue of corruption throughout history. Finally, given that the subject of the research itself is a part of political corruption, but also that this form leaves the greatest consequences for the entire society, it is inevitable to describe that segment as well. The research part of the work consists of quantitative and qualitative analysis, as part of which a total of 104 articles and the same number of titles were analyzed on the example of three Croatian internet portals: Telegram, Index.hr and Jutarnji list. All researched articles cover the time period of publication from November 10, 2021 to December 6, 2022. The results of the obtained objects of analysis provide an answer to the set research questions related to the topic of media reporting on corruption using the example of the Software affair.
