”VEČERNJE NOVOSTI” A JOURNALIST CONCEPT
When “Večernje novosti” appeared on the streets of Belgrade in the hands of colporteurs, on the eve of October 16, 1953, in the midst of the Trieste crisis, no one could have dreamed that the paper that was the first to emerge from the cliché would live to see its 70th birthday.
The idea of starting “Večernje novosti” came from the famous journalist, publicist and historian Vladimir Dedijer, and the first editor-in-chief of the first Yugoslav “večernjak” (evening paper) was Slobodan Glumac. The circulation of the first issue was 14,501 copies. It had only eight pages. In its golden age, “Novosti” printed more than 800,000 copies a day, which is why they still hold all the records in our region. A lot of time has passed, the world has changed, but the motto “quick, short, clear”, which was the essence of the journalistic concept, has become an imperative of modern journalism in our country. Seven decades with the people, daily fresh and current, “Novosti” has been the formula of a good newspaper, a recognized school of journalism, a measure of professional standards and a faithful interpreter of people’s lives.
