Should the tram stop still be called The Herald?

The Hrvatski zbor sportskih novinara (HZSN), an association representing sports journalists, has sent a letter to Zagreb Mayor Tomislav Tomašević and ZET, requesting that the tram stop at Savska Street retain the name 'Vjesnik' despite the demolition of the former newspaper building. The group argues that the name represents a symbol of an era and Croatian journalism, and that many people find the name significant. They note that the tram stop in Jagićevoj Street was recently renamed, which they believe should not happen to Savska Street. The HZSN also mentions that they awarded an annual recognition to journalist Dražen Pinević for his emotional report on the fire at the Vjesnik building, which coincided with the removal of the last remnants of the structure. Pinević passed away on the day the final remains were removed. The association emphasizes the historical and cultural importance of the Vjesnik building and its role in shaping journalism in Zagreb and Croatia.

A group of sports journalists wrote to Tomašević and ZET: They have a request about the station in front of Vjesnik

The Croatian Association of Sports Journalists (HZSN) has sent a letter to Zagreb's mayor and the Zagreb City Television (ZET) requesting that the name 'Vjesnik' remain on a tram stop in Savska Street. The HZSN argues that despite the recent demolition of the Vjesnik skyscraper, the tram stop name should stay as a symbol of a bygone era and of journalism itself. In their letter, they reference the importance of the name and the building to many people, including the late journalist Dražen Pinević, who was awarded this year’s annual award by the HZSN for his emotional writing about the fire at Vjesnik. The association emphasizes that the name should remain as a reminder of a time that has passed but still holds significance in people's memories.
