"Humor and laughter have a devastating effect on every cult of personality": Reactions to Vučić's admonition of "journalists from Šolak's media."
During the last conference on economic measures, Aleksandar Vučić warned journalists from "Šolak's media" – N1, Nova, and Danas – not to laugh while he was speaking. Sources from Danas agree that the attempt to ban laughter is a sign of the government's insecurity and fear of criticism.
The state paid the media for articles featuring fictional individuals.
The network of 24 internet portals owned by retired officer Slavko Stijaković has received nearly half a million euros since 2021 in media financing competitions, despite having plagiarized content in the articles published as part of the projects for which they received budget funds, including quotes attributed to non-existent interlocutors that actually belonged to other individuals.
Nikola Lazić (Bujanovačke): There is no compromise when it comes to journalism.
Recently, the informational portal Bujanovačke celebrated its first decade of operation. It is undoubtedly a remarkable achievement in these challenging times for the media, especially independent outlets, particularly those from the civil sector (the founder is an NGO), especially local ones, and notably for those operating in multiethnic environments burdened by poor state policies. The establishment and success of one of the most influential media outlets in southern Serbia can be primarily attributed to the editor-in-chief, Nikola Lazić, a journalist with decades of experience, who has received numerous awards, partly during his tenure at Novine Vranjske – where he was also the editor-in-chief – and partly at "capital" media outlets such as BIRN, Danas, DW Radio, Vreme, Ekonomist magazine, and Novi magazin.

Can we commemorate the victims of past crimes while simultaneously turning a blind eye to the crimes against journalists in the present? This is a crucial question. Our future depends on the answer to it. On that hot August morning, August 21, 1998, journalists from Radio Priština, Đuro Slavuj from Dvor na Uni, and Ranko Perenić from Lipljan, went to the Monastery of the Holy Healers in Zočište, in western Kosovo, to report on the return of the kidnapped monks. Since then, there has been no trace of them.
Vučić dictates the narrative, and tabloids lead the campaign: How do media discrediting campaigns function and what effect do they have?
Media attacks on individuals or groups, also known as discrediting campaigns, represent a form of systematic public pressure aimed at undermining the reputation, credibility, or social standing of a particular person or organization. Such campaigns are not uncommon in Serbia and often utilize selectively chosen information, distorted facts, or negative interpretations, creating a false image of someone or something.
