About Večernji List

Major Daily Center-rightRead with context

Večernji List was established in 1959 through the merger of Narodni list and Večernji vjesnik. Since 2000, it has been owned by the Austrian Styria Media Group AG, which is ultimately controlled by the Catholic-rooted Styria Media Group foundation in Austria.

Večernji List is a major daily newspaper in Croatia, generally considered to have a center-right, conservative, and Catholic-leaning editorial stance. While it is privately owned by a foreign commercial publisher, which suggests editorial independence from direct state or party control, the broader media environment in Croatia faces challenges. Press freedom reports from organizations like Freedom House and Reporters Without Borders highlight concerns such as increasing pressure on media, the use of strategic lawsuits against public participation (SLAPPs), and the criminalization of defamation, which can create an atmosphere of self-censorship for journalists in the country.
