Tabloidization, sensationalism, the loss of credibility and professionalism, and the violations of ethic norms and standards have been increasingly evident in the Croatian mass media. The broadening of media freedoms is not accompanied by a sufficient level of responsibility regarding reporting; consequently, there is a sort of the media bullying whose victims are individuals or companies. Some of those whose privacy, honour and reputation have been violated send denials to the media, appeal to the journalist associations or seek justice through judicial bodies. In some cases the reports in question were a product of objective and professional reporting, while in others untruths were reported or facts manipulated. The authors analyze the major elements of the above phenomena in the media and the society and the possibilities of protecting the violated rights and interests within the framework of the existing regulations of the Republic of Croatia.
