No license is required to work as a journalist in Croatia, and the government has no way to exclude anyone from practicing journalism. Yet, journalists are in a more and more dire professional condition, due to growing job insecurity linked to the degeneration of the general economic conditions in the country. Pressures have been mounting, while respect for ethical standards is in decline. Journalists "have no time, no money, no incentives, and, very often, not even the inner drive required to produce good journalists", as summed up by IREX. Investigative journalism is more and more rare, while most journalism tend to be "superficial, sensationalist, tabloid-style, and copy/past". Advertorials and infotainment are also on the rise. In lack of specialised journalists, "experts" are often consulted, but they tend to be always the same and to simply confirm the journalist's position, rather than offering a variety of positions.
