The Montenegro media landscape on Crosswire
Crosswire lays Montenegro's front pages next to one another so you can see which stories lead where, how headlines are framed, and what one outlet foregrounds that another leaves out. Of the 5 titles tracked here, 4 sit near the centre and 1 lean right; Crosswire currently lists no left-leaning outlet in Montenegro, so for a contrasting perspective it is worth reading one of these beside a title from another country.
By kind of outlet, the 5 titles break down as 3 daily newspapers (Vijesti, Pobjeda and Dan), 1 news portal (Portal Analitika) and 1 public broadcaster (RTCG). The public-service broadcaster is RTCG — the natural fixed point for a comparison, because a public remit is breadth rather than a party line.
Montenegro sits in Southern Europe, on Crosswire's Europe hub. By outlets tracked it is 11th of the 16 countries in Southern Europe and 35th of the 45 across Europe, where the average is 5.9 outlets per country. Its neighbours in Southern Europe with hubs of their own are Spain (13), Italy (10), Portugal (7), Greece (6), Slovenia (6), Croatia (6), Serbia (6), Malta (5), Cyprus (5), Bosnia and Herzegovina (5), Albania (5), North Macedonia (4), Kosovo (3), Andorra (3) and San Marino (2).
