A question to take further

What changes between annual and summer comparisons, and what is missed when only corporate names are tracked?

Each figure describes its report’s selected coverage. Topics may overlap, and source sets differ across sectors. These shares are not a ranking of industries or a measure of public opinion.

02 / Reading the evidence

A little context
changes the reading.

Practical questions to ask before turning a media finding into a communication decision.

Does more coverage mean more influence?

A mention measures presence in the selected coverage. It does not establish influence, audience reach or trust. Start with the count, then examine the context, source and role of the company in the story.

When are several articles one story?

Several outlets may carry closely related versions of one announcement. Count the publications, but also examine distinct stories. The food-and-beverage report illustrates this with coverage of Mlinar’s results.

What makes a fair comparison over time?

Use clearly defined periods and comparable source coverage. A stable panel of outlets helps, although collection gaps and differences in available text still matter. Each report specifies its own comparison panels; the headline figures here describe its selected portal articles.

How does a finding become a useful brief?

Keep three steps visible: what the evidence shows, how you interpret it, and what action you suggest. A rise in price-related coverage might prompt a clearer customer explanation; it does not by itself establish a reputational crisis.

03 / Behind the findings

From media records
to a useful question.

The reports combine structured analysis with close reading of selected stories. They trace company mentions, recurring themes and changes over time, then connect those patterns to communication questions.

Every result belongs to a defined period and source set. Text availability, selection rules and validation differ by report. The original PDFs document the methods and limitations; the archive is not a census of all Croatian media coverage.
