Jutarnji list (lit. 'The Morning Paper') is a Croatian daily newspaper based inZagreb. It was published on 6 April 1998 by EPH (Europapress holding, owned byNinoslav Pavić), which eventually changed its name inHanza Media after being bought by Marijan Hanžeković.[3] The newspaper is published in theberliner format and online. Its online edition,Jutarnji.hr, is the second most-visited news website in Croatia afterIndex.hr.[4]
According to Hanžeković, "Jutarnji list should be conceptually a newspaper of liberal and social-democratic orientation, with emphasis on accuracy and relevance."[2]
Jutarnji list was launched in April 1998,[5] becoming the first successfulCroatian daily newspaper to appear since the 1950s.[6] It was named after theJutarnji list [hr] Zagreb daily that used to circulate from 1912 until 1941. The newspaper is part ofHanza Media media group.
In 2003,Jutarnji list launched a comprehensive Sunday edition,Nedjeljni Jutarnji. On 19 February 2005,Jutarnji list published an exhaustive biography ofAnte Gotovina.[a]
The paper quickly took the majority of the Croatian media market and became one of the most-read newspapers in that country. In the first five years, it sold more than 214 million copies.[6] During the actual economic crisis, the number of sold copies diminished from about 80,000 in 2007 to 52,763 in 2013.[6][8] The crisis hit in the same manner as other daily newspapers in Croatia.[9] The circulation ofJutarnji list was 66,000 copies in October 2014.[10]
In February 2008,Jutarnji list was involved in a scandal when it published an interview[11][12] with what was thought to be Prime Minister of CroatiaIvo Sanader. The reporter contacted then-23-year-old Viktor Zahtila by e-mail and SMS, whom he assumed to be the prime minister.[13] Zahtila replied via e-mail[14] and did not state that he was Ivo Sanader.
