Summary/Abstract: In this article we deal with the research of the newspaper headlines from January to June 2012. We analyzed the headlines of the Jutarnji list online-edition and Oslobođenje. The last one was chosen especially because of its reputation and tradition of the so called serious newspaper. Oslobođenje is namely the winner of the numerous inter-national rewards and was for a long time a synonym for quality journalism. As we regard Oslobođenje not to be a part of the tabloid jo-urnalism, we assume that the articles in Oslobođenje are carefully written in every segment. In the focus of the research are all headlines of the newspaper texts, regardless of the topic. Especially the headlines are regarded as key sites, because they are in a way a key for decoding the meaning of the text.
