This study focuses on the coverage of the Croatian Parliament's meetings in television news of HRT and Nova TV, two Croatian television channels, in order to determine the amount of media spectacle in both. The motivation behind it is provoked by noticing many reports which solely or mostly focus on conflicts and therefore emerged the interest for conducting the study that would see into whether the television news center their coverage of parliament's meetings around conflict while marginalizing the parliament's daily agenda. By combining both qualitative narrative analysis and quantitative content analysis, the study found out that both televisions do so. Nova TV, as being a commercial rival to the public service broadcaster HRT, constructs its news with more elements of media spectacle than the HRT does. In the observed period, from March 1 to May 31, both televisions had 30 times the opportunity to report about the Croatian Parliament's meetings. HRT took that opportunity 12 times, and Nova TV 10 times. HRT spoke about the parliament's daily discussion topics 11 times, although 4 times out of that they only briefly mentioned Uljanik or fights about it as being the main topic. Nova TV informed its viewers about the daily discussion topics 7 times. Not all meetings were being covered, but the ones that consisted of fights, controversies, records or bizarreness. Although the HRT and the Nova TV differ in organization structure, in choosing and approaching subjects they are very similar. Even though Nova TV has more elements of media spectacle, HRT does not lag too far behind.
