Glas Istre


Glas Istre is a Croatian regional daily newspaper published in Pula which mainly covers stories of interest from the Istria region in the northwest of the country. Established in 1943 as a regional newsletter of the Yugoslav Partisans, the paper continued to be published after World War II, and became a daily in November 1969.
The paper spent the majority of its later history as a regional supplement published in the Rijeka-based nationally circulated newspaper Novi list, and between 1979 and 1991 the editor-in-chief of Novi list was also in charge of Glas Istre. In the 1990s the paper became increasingly independent of its parent publication and eventually evolved into a separate regional daily.

History

Originally launched in July 1943 as the publication of the People’s Liberation Front for Istria. Founded by the Yugoslav Partisans, its first issue was printed near Crikvenica as an anti-fascist paper for the people of Istria. Over the years it appeared as a monthly, weekly, and biweekly, and since 1969 it has been published daily. Since April 1989 it also appears on Sundays.
