The master thesis focuses on the content of the German newspaper Laibacher Zeitung and its feuilleton during World War I (1914–1918). The newspaper was present on Slovenian territory from the late 18th century until October 28th 1914. It was considered as one of the most influential newspapers in Ljubljana, which published political, economic and cultural news. The first part of the thesis focuses on the beginnings of Laibacher Zeitung and next discusses its content during the World War I. This helps to determine, whether the newspaper represented the interests of only German or also Slovene speaking population in Carniola.
The second and at the same time the main part of the thesis focuses on the Laibacher Zeitung’s feuilleton and the articles published within. Through the diverse literary contributions by German, Slovene and other foreign authors – divided into articles to be read for entertainment, and those that discuss the military and war themes – the political interests of Laibacher Zeitung during World War I can be determined.
