Central homeland stand-up

Vučić's audience does not want to be where he is, so the question is whether they even want to listen to it, whether they understand, for example, the metaphor about little pigs. The president said that the student protests will end when they eat the roasted piglets. It seems to me that it was after the blockade of Autokomanda. A few days later, he recorded a family video with roast pork in a tavern in Borča

Lie and paralysis

The strained political relations in Serbia led to an intense propaganda war through the media. While RTS is desperately trying to reconcile the irreconcilable positions of the government and the opposition, commercial channels controlled by the government are conducting an intensive campaign primarily against students, educators, non-governmental organizations and NGO activists. To this list should be added influencers on social networks who are a specific thorn in the side of Vučić's and his activists' attempts to conquer virtual space in cyberspace.

The final experiment

In Novi Sad, 15 people died in a falling canopy and nothing was funny anymore. Resignations were forced, and general paralysis could be seen in the example of the Day of Mourning - one in Serbia, three in Vojvodina. Lack of empathy was shown by the prime minister, who tried to measure the scale of the tragedy by the death of 15, 155, or 15000 people. Beaters were sent to attack the students, and RTS unhesitatingly reported accusations that they were mercenaries. However, the exact opposite happened, as the wave of discontent only grew stronger. That is why student protests and plenums will mark the end of this year and the welcome of a new one, between fear and hope, which has emerged, just like empathy and solidarity

Will you see the president's address in Dnevnik RTS while Pink or Informer is standing in the corner of the screen, since state officials are seen much more often on these channels, as guests of the morning program or the collegium in constant convocation

TV element

Accidents and disasters are interesting topics for television because, in the language of digital media, they are clickable. This, by the way, is a finer term for sensationalist reporting that continuously holds the attention of users

Younger and younger people are coming to treatment for gambling, and treatment is made more difficult by the fact that betting shops have sprung up like mushrooms at every turn of public transport, at every junction and in every free bar. It is unusually difficult to change lifestyle habits when challenges are aggressively present in the media and physical environment

Draža and Chetniks in pop culture

Awareness of history and historical events in modern man is shaped much more by the media than by historical science. Moreover, in this field, history has globally lost the battle with media, film and literature. In a culture where the dominant film genre dealing with the Second World War is colloquially called "partisan film", a wave of counter-genre - "Chetnik film" could soon arise.

Under the sign of the swastika

Official history acknowledges that public broadcasting of television programs began in the mid-1934s, somewhat simultaneously in Great Britain and Germany, and then in the Soviet Union and the United States. But, that is not exactly the most accurate determination - after the experimental release of the signal in 1935, the first public TV service actually started operating in March XNUMX in Germany, whose prime minister at that time was Hitler. It is the year in which the burning of the Reichstag has already taken place, the multi-party system has been effectively abolished, the Jews have come under the attack of racial laws, and the first political opponents have already felt the charms of the system of future concentration camps. Recently discovered recordings of early television programs from Nazi Germany give us an important insight into the early days of mass media and clarify the nature of the influence of the television image on reality.
