The Serbia media landscape on Crosswire
Crosswire lays Serbia'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 6 titles tracked here, 1 lean left and 5 sit near the centre; Crosswire currently lists no right-leaning outlet in Serbia, so for a contrasting perspective it is worth reading one of these beside a title from another country.
By kind of outlet, the 6 titles break down as 2 daily newspapers (Danas and Politika), 1 digital-native outlet (Nova.rs), 1 news portal (B92), 1 public broadcaster (RTS) and 1 tabloid (Blic). The public-service broadcaster is RTS — the natural fixed point for a comparison, because a public remit is breadth rather than a party line.
Serbia sits in Southern Europe, on Crosswire's Europe hub. By outlets tracked it is 7th of the 16 countries in Southern Europe and 23rd of the 45 across Europe, where the average is 5.9 outlets per country.
