The thesis presents a linguistic-stylistic comparison and spatial analysis of reporting in the newspapers Slovenski narod, Slovenec, and Jutro in selected April issues from 1924, 1934, and 1940. The aim is to determine how political orientation is reflected in the language of reporting and the geography of news. The research combines linguistic-stylistic analysis with quantitative and cartographic analysis of place and country names and interprets the results from journalistic stylistics, the geography of news, and critical geopolitics. Political orientation is most clearly reflected in political news, particularly at the lexical and pragmatic levels, while differences in non-political news are less pronounced. A development towards a more objective reporting style and more frequent use of reporting automatisms can be observed, although it is not entirely uniform. Jutro has the broadest spatial coverage of the Kingdom of Serbs, Croats and Slovenes/Yugoslavia, while Slovenski narod and Slovenec focus more strongly on Slovenian territory. All three newspapers report on Slovenian ethnic territories outside the state borders, so the expected stronger focus of Slovenec could not be confirmed. In international reporting, all three focus mainly on Europe, while the spatial focus changes according to current international developments. The research confirms the importance of geographical and cultural proximity, political importance, international interactions, and current events.
