was started in 1862, making it the oldest living newspaper in Croatia, and a part of Croatian cultural history. The first issue of ''Narodni list'' was published on March 1, 1862, as a Croatian-language part of the Italian-language newspaper ''Il Nazionale''. Since 1876, ''Narodni list'' is published entirely in Croatian, playing an important role in unification of Dalmatia and Croatia. From 1920 to 1946 ''Narodni list'' was not published due to Italian fascist government of Zadar and Dalmatia. After the war, ''Narodni list'' starts publishing again. At the time there was another ''Narodni list'', daily newspaper published in Zagreb, so the Zadar newspaper was forced to briefly change the name to ''Glas Zadra'' ( en, the voice of Zadar). After the newspaper from Zagreb ceased to exist, ''Narodni list'' recovered its name.
