Glas javnosti
From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
Glas javnosti is a daily newspaper published in Belgrade, its first issue appeared on April 20, 1998.
Initially, the paper was published under the name Novi Blic, but the Belgrade Commercial Court put a stop to that by issuing an immediate injunction citing copyright infringement. After 5 issues, on April 25, 1998, the paper appeared under its current name, which the staff took from a long-forgotten 19th century publication.
Modern Glas javnosti assumes a continuity from a newspaper of the same name published in Kragujevac during 19th century. The first issue of that Glas javnosti came out on July 15, 1874.
Glas is financially managed by Radisav Rodić who also owns Kurir. Initially, the paper's editor-in-chief duties were performed by Manojlo Vukotić, who was succeeded by Srećko Petrić, Milan Becejić, Slavoljub Kacarević, Maja Vojinovic, Petar Lazic, Ivan Corbic and Slavica Jovovic.
The authorities under the Milošević regime frequently went after Glas. On the 2nd and 3rd of October 1999, the paper ceased publication due to an official injunction, allegedly because of three unregistered workers found at the ABC grafika printing company. In reality, the ban was widely seen as regime retribution for the paper's decision to print and distribute a bulettin by the Alliance for Change (SZP) opposition coalition.
