Index.hr is a Croatian tabloid online newspaper,[1][3] launched in December 2002 and based in Zagreb. It was founded by Matija Babić and was originally designed as a news aggregation website, providing news content from Croatia, Bosnia and Herzegovina, Serbia, and Slovenia. The website quickly grew in popularity and over time, more original content was produced by its growing staff until it became a popular media outlet in its own right. It has been described as having a "reputation of an independent, liberal, and strongly opposition outlet" with a "strong liberal bias".[3]
The news site covers politics, business, sports, show business, and features columns covering everything from gossip to political commentary. According to Alexa Internet in 2010, Index.hr is one of the top sites in Croatia,[4] and in Bosnia and Herzegovina.[5] As of 2018[update], it is the leading Croatian news website.[6][7] Despite its popularity however, it is among the least trusted Croatian news brands.[3]

Index.hr is a tabloid-style news site that has a reputation of an independent, liberal, and strongly opposition outlet... The least trusted brands are two tabloid news sites with a strong ideological slant, Index.hr with a strong liberal bias and Dnevno.hr with a clear right-wing agenda.
