While the new director of N1, Brent Sadler, assures that the editorial policy at this media house will be protected, employees have expressed concern about the future after changes in the management structure.
Executive Director of "Adria News Network" Brent Sadler he stated in an interview for the newspaper Nova that "he did not return to Serbia to observe the collapse editorial office which he helped to build".
Sadler emphasized that the focus of his work will be the preservation of professional standards and the independence of newsrooms.
"If anyone, on any side, tried to influence the content, the structures we've built are there to prevent that. And I would be the first to speak publicly about it," Sadler said.
He added that N1 television "produces strong and independent journalism that is widely recognized", stressing that he does not have an editorial role.
"I do not make editorial decisions for individual newsrooms. That responsibility belongs to editors and journalists in each media," he stated.
Sadler assessed that the goal of the established management framework is to protect newsrooms from external influence.
"The governance framework we have put in place is designed to protect editorial decision-making from political, commercial and any other external influence," he said.
He added that the quality of journalism is a key defense of independence.
"The best protection of any newsroom is the quality and consistency of its journalism," Sadler pointed out.
As a reminder, as part of the reorganization in "Adria News Network", Sadler and Wouter van Houwelingen were appointed as the legal representatives of N1 television, which replaced the previous structure in which Igor Boลพiฤ performed that function.
The company states that these are administrative and corporate changes that relate exclusively to management, legal representation and financial supervision, without affecting the editorial policy and work of the newsroom.
However, the union of employees in N1 and Forbes Serbia expressed concern about the possible consequences of the reorganization.
The announcement states that the union is asking for a meeting with the management and written guarantees that there will be no reduction in the number of employees or threats to editorial independence.
"We see this as the beginning of a process that can affect the safety of the work organization and opens up space for personnel decisions that could affect the newsroom," the union says.
