Abstract

In his article, the author examines how the uprising in Bosnia-Herzegovina and the subsequent occupation by Austria-Hungary was portrayed by the Slovenian and Slovakian mass media. From amongst the Slovenian newspapers, the author focuses most on the liberal Slovenski narod, and to a somewhat lesser extent on the clerical Slovenec, while from amongst the Slovakian newspapers, he takes the Národnie noviny under closer scrutiny, as an example of the more serious, politically oriented Slovakian papers. The author ties his selection of articles from these newspapers published from the end of July 1875 till mid October 1878 into a meaningful whole and analyses the approach taken in each of them with regard to the uprising.
