Dževad Sulejmanpašić’s Discourse on Football as the Darling of Journalism

Abstract

Dževad Sulejmanpašić is considered as one of the first communication experts in this region. The phenomena that he recognized and theoretically elaborated back in the thirties of the last century can still be applied today in modern mass media. One of the phenomena that Sulejmanpašić put in the media context is football, which he called “the darling of journalism”. The aim of our work is to show how Sulejmanpašić’s theses on the relationship between journalism and football are still relevant and applicable today. We will also explain the political context of Sulejmanpašić’s activity and the then role of media and football in society. In addition to using all relevant sources, we will also apply the method of content analysis from parts of Sulejmanpašić’s published book “Journalism the Destroyer of Humanity”.
