The Standing Working Group on the Safety of Journalists (SRG) held its final regular quarterly meeting of the year on December 18 in Belgrade. The session focused on security challenges faced by media professionals from October to December, as well as throughout 2024.
Representatives of the Supreme Public Prosecutor's Office informed SRG members that 11 new cases related to journalist safety were initiated in October and November - three in October and eight in November.
From the beginning of 2024 until November 31, a total of 55 cases involving offenses against journalists were opened in public prosecutors' offices across Serbia. In comparison, 76 cases were initiated in 2023, and 87 cases in both 2022 and 2021.

Newsrooms most frequently targeted by attacks this year, according to available data, were N1 with 13 criminal reports, Nova S with six, and the weekly Radar with four.
Out of the 44 individual journalists who were victims of attacks this year, 19 were male (43.18%) and 25 female (56.82%). This marks the first year since the prosecutor's office began maintaining a database that female journalists have made up the majority of victims of attacks and threats, the statement noted.
Regarding resolved cases, by the end of November this year, first-instance or final decisions were made in 16 cases (29.09%). The remaining 39 cases are at various stages of investigation and evidence collection.

GrađaНИН (R)
GrađaНИН sa Aleksandrom Timofejevim je emisija informativnog karaktera u kojoj autor, inače glavni i odgovorni urednik NIN-a, razgovara sa kolegama i gostima o aktuelnim temama kojim se već punih 90 godina bavi ugledni NIN, najstariji nedeljnik na Balkanu i šesti po „krštenici“ u Evropi. Gosti dolaze iz različitih sfera interesovanja publike i autora. Nema tabu tema i što je možda najvažnije u ovim vremenima velike podeljenosti u Srbiji, emisija prati uredjivačku politiku NIN-a, a to je da ima sagovornike sa svih strana kako iz politike tako i svega ostalog iz zemlje, regiona i sveta važnog za život gradjana Srbije. GrađaНИН је еmisija koja prati život, postavlja pitanja, dobronamerno kritikuje i trudi se da nam svako danas bude bar malo bolje nego juče, a svako sutra bolje nego danas.
