Researches focusing on media consumption and trust in the media on a sample of Croatian students are relatively rare. Nevertheless, students who are dominantly young people in the process of acquiring formal education, use the media both for the purpose of learning and gathering information, as well as for entertainment and socializing, which ultimately makes them an interesting subgroup of media consumers. Therefore, the aim of this study was to examine the extent of media consumption and trust in different types of media (television, radio, printed newspapers, portals and social networks) among students in the Republic of Croatia. For this purpose, an online survey was conducted on a convenience sample of 172 Croatian students from various fields of study. The results of conduct analyses indicate that, on average, Croatian students consume printed newspapers in a small extent, while the consumption of television, radio, portals and social networks is moderately pronounced. Also, students, on average, show a low level of trust in television, radio, printed newspapers and portals, but have moderate level of trust exclusively in social networks. When it comes to the differences in media consumption between students of journalism and related studies and students of other fields of study, it was found that future journalists and related professions consume more television, printed newspapers and portals, while there are no significant differences in the consumption of radio and social networks. Also, it was found that Croatian students of journalism and related studies have more trust in all the examined types of media than students of other study areas.
