The Ustase organization, from its genesis in Vienna and Rome in the 1930s until more recent times, has placed an extraordinary emphasis on propaganda and its dissemination. Yet many of the most inflammatory statements during the lifespan of the Independent State of Croatia were in the Catholic press, in organs of long standing, chief among them
Katolicki List and
Katolicki Tjednik. Notable organs under the jurisdiction of the state were
Hrvatski List, Hrvatski Narod and
Nova Hrvatska. Official decrees were published in
Narodne novine, the official government gazette, though newspapers often published transcripts of speeches by notable Ustase leaders.
