The coronavirus pandemic has drastically affected our lives and changed them radically. The media has become a very important factor in informing about new epidemiological measures that have been adopted and that society needs to adhere to. Considering the theory of news selection, in this paper I determined which news selection factors were used by national televisions in Croatia when making stories about key moments in the development of the coronavirus situation in Croatia. I conducted the research using quantitative content analysis. The aim of the study was to conclude which factors the broadcasters, commercial (RTL and Nova TV) and public (HRT) were used the most when making news stories about the "key" moments of coronavirus in Croatia, in different words I determined which factors prevail in the selection. Also, I detected what factors are omitted in most of the articles, but also what are the differences between televisions when it comes to news selection criteria. Considering that the criteria for selecting news change and different from each other at least numerically, in order to make a selection, I used the categories mentioned by Tena Perišin in her book Television News. The analysis concluded that televisions used the same news factors the most, namely: importance, influence, meaning and novelty.
