Glas Istre (lit.'Voice of Istria') is a Croatian regional daily newspaper published in Pula which mainly covers stories of interest from the Istria region in the northwest of the country. Established in 1943 as a regional newsletter of the Yugoslav Partisans,[1] the paper continued to be published after World War II, and became a daily in November 1969.[1]

The paper spent the majority of its later history as a regional supplement published in the Rijeka-based nationally circulated newspaper Novi list, and between 1979 and 1991 the editor-in-chief of Novi list was also in charge of Glas Istre. In the 1990s the paper became increasingly independent of its parent publication and eventually evolved into a separate regional daily.

History

Originally launched in July 1943 as the publication of the People’s Liberation Front for Istria.[2] Founded by the Yugoslav Partisans, its first issue was printed near Crikvenica as an anti-fascist paper for the people of Istria.[2] Over the years it appeared as a monthly, weekly, and biweekly, and since 1969 it has been published daily.[2] Since April 1989 it also appears on Sundays.[2]
