Priča o novinama

Zvonimir Milčec’s Priča o novinama introduces young readers to journalism and the making of a newspaper. Drawing on his experience as a journalist, the author uses short texts, humorous situations and varied storytelling forms. Stories and newspaper articles appear alongside cartoons and comics, with illustrations by Nedeljko Dragić.

The book opens the newsroom door, exploring reporters’ daily work, editorial responsibilities and newspaper production. Its subjects include the five basic journalistic questions, crime reporting, interviews and the pursuit of sensational news. The individual pieces convey the bustle of a profession shaped by events, deadlines and unexpected developments.

Humour and explanation help children see newspapers as the product of people gathering, shaping and communicating information. The combination of written and visual forms makes the subject accessible and engaging.

The book will appeal to children interested in writing, school newspapers and reporting. For readers today, it also offers a glimpse of print journalism before the emergence of digital newsrooms.
