Gregal, as the first student magazine in Dubrovnik, emerged in 1996 and persisted until 2001. It originated at a technical faculty, without foundations or experience, during the postwar period of Dubrovnik and the transition into the digital era. Its roots stem from the enthusiasm of students gathering in a room with the only available computers connected to the internet. Although initially focusing on maritime topics, student issues soon became a priority. Despite initial skepticism, over the years, Gregal evolved into a genuine student magazine covering a wide range of topics, including politics and society. It also became the first student magazine in Croatia with an online edition. Its activity extended beyond publishing to organizing various events, promoting freedom of expression. Despite its significance, the magazine ceased publication at the end of 2001, coinciding with the restructuring of the college into a university. Gregal, in its five-year existence, left an indelible mark not only within student circles but also in the broader social context of Dubrovnik, significantly impacting the professional destiny of many participants.
