Abstract Početkom siječnja 1968. u jugoslavenskom se političkom životu vodila dugotrajna i burna rasprava o tzv. „jednom postotku“.1 Riječ je bila o doprinosu za socijalnu skrb u općinama i republikama. U saveznoj se skupštini pojavio prijedlog o snižavanju te stope za 1%. Međutim, taj su trošak trebale snositi jugoslavenske republike, a ne savezna država. Zastupnici iz dviju najrazvijenih republika, SR Hrvatske i SR Slovenije, pobunili su se protiv takve odluke, tražeći za republike pravo da samostalno odluče o svojim doprinosima. Sukob nije bio ni bezazlen, niti jednodimenzionalan. Čak je Izvršni komitet Centralnog komiteta Saveza komunista Jugoslavije (IK CK SKJ) – najviše partijsko tijelo – stao na stranu republika i kritizirao organe savezne države. Pobunjene su republike nakon tih burnih zbivanja odlučile u svojim parlamentima kako se neće pridržavati takve štetne odluke. Iako su pritom imale podršku partijskoga vrha, ovaj je neposluh federativnih jedinica prema odlukama savezne države pokazao svu dubinu jugoslavenskih nesporazuma. Atmosfera u javnosti bila je užarena. Prije nego li je sukob razriješen pravorijekom vrha Partije i posljedičnim odlukama republičkih parlamenata, dok je skupštinska svađa još bila na vrhuncu, Neda Krmpotić, najistaknutija unutrašnjopolitička politička komentatorica zagrebačkog Vjesnika, uključila se u javnu raspravu što je pratila onu skupštinsku. U svojim je člancima, objavljenima tijekom prvih dana siječnja, a naročito u onom naslovljenom „Talenti i obožavaoci“,2 postavila mnoga važna pitanja koja su izvirala iz skupštinske svađe: kakvo pravo imaju jugoslavenske republike u odnosu prema federaciji? Imaju li gospodarski nerazvijene jugoslavenske republike pravo na pomoć onih razvijenih? Kakav treba biti odnos između gospodarstva i države? Kakav, na koncu, treba biti odnos među jugoslavenskim republikama i narodima koji u njima žive? Svako od ovih pitanja imalo je odlučujući utjecaj na opstanak socijalističke Jugoslavije. Sve do sredine 1960-ih nije bilo moguće da se tako delikatne teme pretresaju na stranicama novina, štoviše da budu objavljene kao udarni komentar na drugoj stranici glavnog republičkog dnevnika. Očito je kako je promijenjena pozicija medija svjedočila o ozbiljnim promjenama u cijelom političkom životu. Zato smatram da analiza stavova iznesenih u medijima mnogo otkriva o naravi kako jugoslavenskog političkog ustroja, tako i o promjenama koje su ga snašle.
Abstract (english) Neda Krmpotić was a Croatian journalist during the Yugoslav reform era. The content analysis of her articles, spanned over more than a decade between the late 1950’s and early 1970’s, as well as a contextual analysis of Yugoslav political and economic landscape, shows her political views as firmly rooted in the ideas of the reform faction within the League of Communists of Yugoslavia (LCY). Aiming to explain the major social and political problems she has written about, Krmpotić lays a significant emphasis on the problems plaguing the Yugoslav non-market economy, claiming it as the single most important reason for all the other issues, including the political tensions arising between the nations of Yugoslavia. Apart from showing Krmpotić as a coherent political thinker content analysis has also shown the gradual development of the reformist policies and approaches during the 1960’s. Although positioned on the far liberal end of the reformist spectrum, Krmpotić still acts as a part of the mainstream party politics, trying to influence the public opinion as an activist for the reformist cause. However, the firm positioning inside the field of political power struggle shows her as being primarily a political, even activist, public figure. The position of journalists in communist systems is restricted by the role that media played as a part of the ruling political party. During the liberalization era of Yugoslav media system, a particular set of professional rights has been established that eventually changed the relationship between journalists and authorities. Although that leads to the acquirement of a relatively independent position of the media, journalists also keep their traditional role as agitators, merging both the liberal and the communist view of media’s role. This new, influential position acquired by journalists is well illustrated by Neda Krmpotić’s public activity. Apart from her career as a journalist, Krmpotić has occupied a few considerably important positions in the structure of the LCY. A careful content analysis of her articles, compared with the socio-political context of the era and her political biography, showed that her consistent reformist orientation throughout the 1960’s can be characterized as a sort of political activism in journalistic form, a form of public engagement shared by her fellow journalists.
