newspaper in terms of both its content and format. However, within six months after its launch the paper managed to firmly establish its position as the third daily newspaper in Croatia in terms of circulation (after '' Večernji list'' and '' Jutarnji list''). This success was due partly to the attractive price. After Matija Babić was removed from the post of editor-in-chief on 5 July 2005, Boris Trupčević became the new editor in chief. Before he joined ''24sata'' he was the publisher of Sanoma Magazines in Croatia. He was succeeded by Renato Ivanuš, and as of 2015. editor-in-chief is Goran Gavranović. ''24sata'' had a circulation of 116,000 copies in 2013, and was the only Croatian daily that saw its revenue grow that year.
