Danas (pronounced [ˈdǎnas], lit. 'Today') is a United Group-owned daily newspaper of record published in Belgrade, Serbia.[2] It is a left-oriented media, promoting social-democracy and European Union integration. It is a vocal media supporter of Serbian NGO activities towards human rights and minorities protection.[2]
History
The first issue of Danas appeared on 9 June 1997. It was established in 1997 after a group of discontented journalists from the Naša borba newspaper walked out after getting into a conflict with the paper's new private majority owner.[3]
In the period since the regime change, Danas has been one of the rare Serbian newspapers (or Serbian media outlets in general, for that matter) to ignore the commercial temptations of yellow journalism. Its circulation has been continually in decline. Most of the foreign investors in Serbian media market have been avoiding it. Danas publishes political comic strips drawn by the famous caricaturist Predrag Koraksić Corax.[4]
