The topic of this graduate thesis is the influence of framing and historical heritage on the perception of the media text. Earlier research showed that the framing and frame efect influences the attitudes and behavior of the public which often accepts the given frames. The intention of this paper is to research the fact whether framing has a more significant influence than the historical heritage on the media text perception when speaking of the younger population who live at areas which suffered war destruction. We also wanted to see how strong is the historical heritage influence with the given younger population specially when we speak of the emotionally coloured topics and how this influences the perception when reading the media text. In order to understand the core of this topic it is important to consider the context of the cities of Pakrac and Lipik where the destruction during the Homeland War was specially severe and the historical heritage of the tested group was coloured, according to the assumptions, with Serbia-Croatian confrontations and the relations of these two nations. During our research a experiment was used as an research draft while a poll was used as the method for securing data. The experiment consisted of two participant groups called, according to the title: the Ideology and the Neutral Group where the sole difference was in the contents, meaning the framing referring to the title of the media text they read. The obtained results show no existing difference between these two groups referring to the media text perception. Thus it is concluded that the framing effect does not play any significant role when speaking of emotional and intensive topics. The attitudes detemined by the history heritage influence more the perception of the media text regardless of the type of title and the content of that text on the ideological orientation and level of social distance of the respondents towards other nationalities. According to the author of this paper, the influence of framing and historical heritage on the perception of media text has not been researched in Croatia so far, and for more detailed conclusions it was necessary to investigate research on a larger sample in the context of war-affected areas.
