Croatian Public Television – Lost In Transformation, Iveta Imre
Masters Theses
This study examined the influence of government, politicians and advertisers on the content of Croatian Public Television (HTV) news.

Coughlin And Cleveland, Karen G. Ketchaver
Coughlin And Cleveland, Karen G. Ketchaver
Masters Theses
Father Charles E. Coughlin was one of the most prominent, and most controversial, figures in the United States in the 1930s and in the early years of the 1940s.

His views became more and more extreme, and, by the latter part of the decade, he became increasingly …
