The purpose of the study was to get to know, how individuals in their everyday context used the media in socialist Yugoslavia and how has this use contributed to the formation of collective imaginary in Yugoslav society. In order to do so, the main focus was to obtain firsthand information about how and what media did the interviewees use during this historical period, how they perceived journalists and journalistic reporting, how much they trusted them, to what extent they were critical of media content and how they perceived the wider Yugoslav society in relation to the media. The aim of the research was to obtain, through memory exploration, information that would enable better understanding of the media in this historic period.
