The Media Council for Self-Regulation congratulates all Montenegrin journalists and media outlets on Journalists’ Day in Montenegro. Although this should be a day of celebration, it is difficult to find much reason to celebrate when journalists and journalism are under greater threat than ever before - both locally and globally.
The conference “The Trust Gap: Pathways to Quality Journalism in Southeast Europe and Türkiye in the Digital Age” was held in Brussels on 2-3 December. Representing the Media Council for Self-Regulation, Executive Secretary Ranko Vujović attended the event.
The Media Council for Self-Regulation strongly condemns yesterday’s obstruction and prevention of journalists from doing their job in parliament. For many years now, journalists have been subjected to open insults, humiliation, and physical attacks.
The twelfth edition of the Policy Brief, authored by Ranko Vujović, addresses issues of media pluralism - an essential condition for the development of any democratic society. The brief provides an overview of how the Council of Europe and the European Union work to safeguard media pluralism and ownership transparency, and it analyzes the media market and pluralism in Montenegro, offering concrete recommendations.
The brutal physical attack on journalist Ana Raičković has been an unpleasant reminder that in Montenegro, journalists remain unprotected and are exposed to all forms of aggression, from insults to physical assaults. The Media Council for Self-Regulation strongly condemns last night’s attack on journalist Ana Raičković.
The Media Council for Self-Regulation strongly condemns the latest attempt to intimidate journalists and media by Special State Prosecutor Miloš Šoškić. Just a few months after labeling the respected journalist and writer Milorad Popović as being under the influence of a criminal organization, Prosecutor Šoškić has once again directly targeted Pobjeda and journalist Draško Đuranović.
