All shades of black

There are numerous challenges facing the media in the countries of the Western Balkans and the former Yugoslavia, from political influence and pressure to economic instability to threats to freedom of expression.

US elections

Can a woman become America's president?

The latest polls show that Kamala Harris managed to get close to Donald Trump in terms of popularity in just one month of the campaign, and ABC News' analyzes of public support and her prospects in the upcoming elections predict that voter support will not be determined by issues of sexism or racism, but above all by their "fears" can candidates with those identities even win". This concept, known as "strategic discrimination," actually explains why women and minorities are underrepresented in American politics because voters hesitate to support nonwhites and nonmales because they worry more about whether other voters will support them. or not

SLAPP lawsuits

How injustice is made

The main purpose of SLAPP lawsuits is to disable the work of journalists, media and activists by forcing them to waste the time and significant resources they spend defending themselves through lengthy court proceedings and pointless hearings.

Interview: Jelena Lončar, professor at the Faculty of Political Sciences

We defend institutions only if we participate in them

What are the speeches of MPs and politicians for? Who do political representatives really address - other MPs, specific target groups, the media, opponents or different sections of the public?

Why it is important not to give up the fight for institutions in the context of the upcoming elections

Media interpretation of the event

A submissive and confused citizen

Opposing media narratives about the same event once again confirm the power of the media to influence the creation of the dominant political narrative and public opinion by deciding which aspect of the event they place on the agenda. Just by choosing which event to report on and in what way, what to emphasize and what to hide, the media, with their interpretations, influence the construction of the dominant discourse in society, as well as the spread of key political messages.

Dossier "Vremena": Health in politics

The use of the reputation of the white coat

In considering the relationship between doctors and politicians, Cunningham wrote in the fifties of the 20th century that the "doctor's dilemma" stems from the fact that politics is a "business of dirty hands", while medicine has always been a profession of "clean hands" - perhaps it can be interpret today's obsessive need of politicians to surround themselves with the support and authority of doctors, surgeons and heads of hospitals
