Entertainment press in Socialist Yugoslavia
Keywords:
press, entertainment press, dime novels, junk, propagandaAbstract
The press in Yugoslavia was under strict control of the new, communist regime right after WWII. After the breach with Stalin in 1948 the country started turning West. Within that framework, workers’ self-management and larger independence of companies were introduced. Newspaper companies had to make profit so they increasingly turned to entertainment materials from the West that they reproduced uncritically. The government was afraid of foreign and anti-socialist influences, but there were few real measures to stop them. One of them was the special tax in early 1970s which remained without significant effect. Dime novels were also part of the entertainment press and they made part of the money needed to support the political press.
