Domovina (newspaper)

Domovina (Homeland) was a Chilean newspaper in Croatian edited and printed in the city of Punta Arenas between 1908 and 1917. The paper also appeared under the name Novo Doba (New Epoch) for several years before reverting to its original name. It was one of the local newspapers most read by the resident Croatian community in Chile.

Domovina (Homeland) was founded on September 12, 1908. The paper adopted the new name Novo Doba (New Epoch) on 3 December 1910, led initially by Juan Trutanić and later by Lucas Bonacic Dorić. Its editor was Pedro Gašić.



In September 1911, the newspaper retook the name Domovina, continuing under that name until its termination on December 29, 1917.
