Cenzura u doba šestojanuarskog režima kralja Aleksandra
Censorship in the Period of King Alexander’s January 6th Regime

Summary/Abstract: In Yugoslavia, in the period of King Alexander’s January 6th regime, the strict censorship was imposed which most affected the press but also publishing in the whole and politics and culture. The Government’s work and law were only allowed to be written about in superlatives, due to the fact that any political situation analysis, mentioning economic crisis, unemployment or any effort to point to a public or social problem, was considered bad criticism and came under the Press Law attack. Journalists, the domestic as well as the foreign ones, were also carefully monitored, sometimes even followed by police. In the Kingdom during the period of January 6th regime, there were much more ‘forbidden’ than ‘allowed’ themes, as a result of which the print was forced to turn to sensationalism, mostly dealing with criminal and corruption. Objective difficulties, both political and economical, were not possible to be hidden, and the lack of the correct information on the landscape in the Kingdom created certain vacuum which was favourable to spreading the most fantastic news and words on the regime’s horrible brutalities and strengthening anti-state feelings and affections primarily in Croatia.
