The coronavirus, a virus that has suddenly changed the world and characterized the previous two years, has significantly affected all phases of human activity. At that time, marked by confinement and isolation, people relied more on the media. During the pandemic of COVID-19 disease, the media had a great and significant responsibility in reporting, and the pandemic also affected the way they report and address the public. The aim of this thesis was to investigate how the media reported, i.e. in which contexts (specific sections) it was discussed during the largest global pandemic in the 21st century, in the national and local press. The research is conducted using qualitative and quantitative content analysis in daily printed newspapers at the national level (Jutarnji list and Večernji list and two local papers Glas Istra and Zadarski list) during three key dates, namely February 26, 2020, March 19, 2020. and April 22, 2020. The scientific contribution of this paper is a deeper understanding of the actions of the print media in the Republic of Croatia during the coronavirus pandemic, by presenting the frequency and analyzing the context of media articles under various aspects in which the media cover topics related to the pandemic.
