The paper presents the results of quantitative and qualitative content analysis of the six most influential daily newspapers in Serbia with a focus on writing about topics that are directly and indirectly related to human rights. It was noted that the selected media content was presented as internal - political thing especially when the question of State responsibility and the measures that have been undertaken by the State were raised, or when the subject of activity of state institutions was questioned. Most often quoted were representatives of the government as centers of political power, though members of marginalized groups were also not absent. The journalists showed sensitivity to marginalized actors of social practice
