Summary
Manojlo Vukotić: The Murder of Serbian Journalism
Today, Serbian journalism stands between pressure from the authorities, tabloid deceptions and deep divisions that are destroying the profession itself. In a book that refuses to remain silent, the doyenne of Serbian journalism, Manja Vukotić, speaks openly about media that serve parties, about newsrooms that cheer instead of reporting, and about the dangerous division of society into "patriots" and "traitors." Why did the former newspaper giants lose their strength? How is it possible that ten Belgrade daily newspapers together sell only about one hundred thousand copies? And why do journalists resist political pressure less and less? Without embellishment and without calculations, the author warns that Serbian journalism has been brought to the brink of survival. But this book is not only a diagnosis of the crisis - it is also a call to the profession to return to its basic task: truth, responsibility and public interest.
