Tina was a youth magazine which existed in Yugoslavia between 1971 and 1976. It was published by Vjesnik and was the only publication targeting young people in the country. Its title was a reference to a British youth magazine entitled Princess Tina which had been established by Fleetway Publications in February 1967. [1]

History and profile

Tina was first published on 26 May 1971. [2] Its publisher was Vjesnik, a publishing house based in Zagreb. [1] [2] The company was founded by the Socialist Alliance of Working People, one of the largest communist political organizations in Yugoslavia. [1] In its early period Tina copied Western youth magazines, but it did not work, [3] and the magazine sold only 35,739 copies in the first year. [2] It gained success from 1974 when it began to cover materials specific to the Yugoslav environment, including progressive pop-culture, literary work and topics related to girls' daily lives. [3] That year the circulation of Tina was 113,032 copies. [2] The magazine infrequently published advertisements and other promotional content. [3] Its editors and contributors included Gruda Špicer, Željko Žutelija and Vesna Lamza. [2]

Tina sold less than 90,000 copies in 1975. [2] Next year its circulation dropped to 77,542 copies which led to its closure after the publication of the final issue, issue 231, dated 29 December 1976. [1] [2]
