UG media editors: new management says editorial independence – we want defense against the powerful

“Vucic demanded her removal — I’m paraphrasing, but that is the essence — that she be removed, and that the directors and editors of N1 and Nova would not yet be replaced, which leaves open three points suggesting they still might,” he said. Commenting the new management, Petrovic said he expected the names of people more familiar with the specific media situation in the region — especially in Serbia. “How much do all these people understand what the situation in Serbia is like, and how much do they care about changing it — that concerns me. These are professionals who have been successful in their media and journalistic careers, but what do they know about the conditions we work in,” he said.
