Propaganda Without Borders: How Did the Media Welcome the Student Protest on Vidovdan?
From headlines about the "attack on Serbia," "preparations for bloodshed," to "genocide of the revolution" and "unmasking the hellish plan of the blockaders on Vidovdan." This narrative was adopted by mainstream media during the two weeks following the call for a protest in Belgrade by students in blockade on June 28. It all began with claims from "students who want to learn" that "the blockaders want to kill them," continued with assertions that students in blockade were "calling for a bloody rampage," and even that on Vidovdan they intended to declare Serbs a "genocidal nation." At the height of this campaign, a "special broadcast" was aired in co-production with TV Informer, TV Pink, TV Prva, TV Happy, TV B92, and Studio B, featuring "chilling evidence of secret blockader activities against the Serbian people and state." The campaign against the students thus transformed into an even more serious media witch hunt—characterized by demonization, intimidation, accusations, and propaganda that knows no boundaries.
