At the beggining of the past century, newsletters of the Croatian party of Rights played a giant role in the awakening of patriotism in Croatia. Considering the context, such as events on the social, political or media scene, they were crucial element in every movement. Very important event was the adoption of The law of the press which liberalised media scene by introducing trials with jury for cases related with journalism, allowing selling newspapers on the streets and abolishing advance payment obligation for starting the media business which was necessary in the past. This series of changes brought to the overgrowth of the national romanticism which confirmed the thesis of the intermediary role of media during the development direction of mankind. This masters thesis is based on detecting the presence of common class of concepts from the analysed colums of Antun Gustav Matoš from the begging of the past century and the implicit class of concept in the present political and social reality and contemporary journalism in Croatia. For the successfull detecting of the concepts listed above multiple methods were used, such as research of historical materials, analysis, description, compilation, deduction, predicative induction, comparation and clasification. By using all these methods the initial hypothesis was confirmed. In accordance to that the conclusion is: The columns of Antun Gustav Matoš written at the begining of 20th century can also be critique of contemporary society and modern journalism. From the results of the research it's noticable that four terms are missing: censorship, misuse of position, responsability of the editor and professional specialization. They couldn't be considered because of the historical gap. Overviewing the other class concepts, a certain compatibility was found which led to the conclusion that thoughts, views and attitude of Antun Gustav Matoš are appliable even today.
