Record Year of Lies: Pro-Regime Newspapers Published Over 1,800 Manipulative News Stories in 2025

On the front pages of six daily newspapers close to the authorities in 2025, journalists from Raskrikavanje found more than 1,800 manipulative news articles. Leading the pack is Alo with as many as 529 such articles, followed closely by Informer with 399. Raskrikavanje has been analyzing tabloid headlines for years, and last year, 2025, has recorded unprecedented levels of manipulation. The six tabloids we analyzed – Informer, Srpski telegraf, Alo, Večernje novosti, Kurir, and Politika – collectively received over one million euros from the budget last year.
