24sata (meaning "24hours" in English) is a Croatian daily Newspaper published in Zagreb, Croatia.
History and profile
24sata is the youngest daily newspaper in Croatia.[1] It was launched by Styria Medien AG, an Austrian media group, in March 2005.[2][3] Its first editor-in-chief, Matija Babić,[4] announced that the new newspaper would target "young, urban and modern" audiences.
The first issue of 24sata seemed to be nothing more than the first Croatian daily tabloid newspaper in terms of both its content and format.[1] However, within six months after its launch the paper managed to firmly establish its position as the third daily newspaper in Croatia in terms of circulation (after Večernji list and Jutarnji list). This success was due partly to the attractive price.
After Matija Babić was removed from the post of editor-in-chief on 5 July 2005, Boris Trupčević became the new editor in chief. Before he joined 24sata he was the publisher of Sanoma Magazines in Croatia. He was succeeded by Renato Ivanuš, and as of 2015. editor-in-chief is Goran Gavranović.[5]
24sata had a circulation of 116,000 copies in 2013.[6]
