Ethics as a philosophical discipline in its essence dictates and measures what's right or wrong. Alongside basic moral questions, ethics also deals with the questions about dignity at work. Journalism as a profession is formed on principals of ethics. Hence, media reporting above all has to be accurate, true and timely. Every Croatian journalist should be led by the rules pointed out in the Code of honor (Kodeks časti hrvatskih novinara). Journalism should pay particular attention when reporting about accidents, children, victims of abuse and homicides. This thesis reviews the reporting ethics of the triple homicide done by Filip Zavadlav on the 11th January 2020. The thesis analyses five Croatian portals (Index, 24 sata, Slobodna Dalmacija, Večernji listi, Jutarnji list) which show that the focus of the reporting was on the perpetrator while privacy and basic human rights of the victims were marginalised. Furthermore, the portals only show photos of the perpetrator and the reports were sensationalised. On the other hand, although the victims were marginalised, the perpetrator was also shown as a cold-blooded murderer. This kind of sensationalised news reporting that resembles yellow journalism poses a great concern as one should take into consideration that young people, who are easily influenced by the authority also have access to the information. Above all, reporting should be such that it protects the victims and is fair and impartial.
