Activity Synopsis

 
Objective(s):

Objective of the study visit was to familiarize the Serbian journalists with the working metods in Slovinian and Croatian newspapers. 

Output/Results:

In general, visit to Croatian and Slovenian newspapers was very useful, both from professional and business side. That is to say, it is obvious that social conditions in general and economic circumstances are quite different from the working environment of Serbian local media. However, it was very interesting and useful to hear more about development aspects for the local media and foremost to learn more about Slovenian experience. 

Conclusions/Follow Up:

The conclusion is that local media should be mostly oriented to information from local areas without aspiration to deal with global topics because potential readers are more interested in local issues, and local can not compete with national media on those topics.

The fact is that visited media are selling vast of circulation through subscription. In Serbia we have complete different situation so this visit motivated us to initiate and strengthen presented selling practice. For sure, experiences of Slovenian and Croatian local media will be of significant importance for further media transformation in Serbia.
