Economic Herald Published Its 4000th Issue

The jubilee 4000th issue of the Croatian business-financial weekly Economic Herald was published on October 16, 2017, and features more than one hundred pages, including a reprint of the first issue, as well as statements from over 120 entrepreneurs – readers of the publication.

“Launched back in 1953 under the auspices of the then Chamber of Commerce of Croatia, regardless of changes in circumstances and ways of working, state and social systems, numerous reform packages, and years, it has managed to endure. And not only endure, but – strongly supported by its owner, the Croatian Chamber of Commerce – to survive as a credible, analytical, serious, and verified source of economic texts and analyses,” emphasize the Economic Herald.

In the announcement, they also highlight the fact that in 64 years and 4000 issues, the Economic Herald has had only four main editors – Milivoj Huber was the editor-in-chief from May 1953 to March 1967, Ante Gavranović from March 1967 to January 1981, Franjo Žilić from January 1981 to the end of 2005, and Darko Buković has held the position for the last 11 and a half years, since 2006.

The Economic Herald is a platform where all economic actors play an important role, and at the same time, it is a mirror in which they see themselves as they truly are or wish to be, emphasizes Buković, defining the weekly as “the voice of the economy, but also the voice of entrepreneurs.”

He also emphasizes that, in addition to the printed edition, the Economic Herald has more than 40,000 online readers weekly, they have launched a weekly television economic magazine (named after the weekly privredni.hr) which is broadcast on 12 Croatian local and regional television stations, they also have a monthly publication in English – PV International, and recently they have launched two new premium magazines (2u1 magazine with B&L, a magazine about business lifestyle, and LaMode, a fashion magazine).
