Special attention was paid to the types of newspaper articles related to
music in the Karlovac press and the range of their topics. An attempt was
made to answer the question of what news about music reached the public,
how it was presented and, consequently, what the importance of music as a
cultural and social factor was in the city of Karlovac throughout the nine-
teenth century.
Who were the editors of the Karlovac newspaper?6
Dragutin Akurti (Accurti; 1829–1885) held a number of important po-
sitions: he was a member of parliament, a judge, and a sub-county secre-
tary.7 He was the first editor of the first Karlovac newspaper in the Croatian
language, Karlovački viestnik (from No. 1 to 20), published by the Nation-
al Reading Room (Narodna čitaonica) in Karlovac, but he left that position
following his move to Rijeka where he was appointed accountant of the Ri-
jeka County. In Rijeka, he was also active on the cultural front as a member
of the National Reading Room of Rijeka, and he also participated in perfor-
mances by theatre volunteers (1854). His place was taken by Skender Fab-
ković/Vabković (1826–1905), who was a teacher at the Main school in Kar-
lovac in 1860.8 From 1861 he edited the newspaper Karlovački vjestnik, from
1862 the newspaper Glasonoša, while from 1866 he edited the pedagogical
magazine Napredak, which he himself kept.
The editor, owner and printer of the newspaper Glasonoša, which was
published from 1861 to 1865, was Abel Lukšić (1826–1901), and the newspa-
per was closed shortly after Lukšić’s move to Vienna due to the high costs of
maintaining the newspaper. Olga Markuševski points out for Lukšić:
