Kurir-sport

Kurir-sport was a sports daily newspaper published in Serbia.

Launched by Radisav Rodić, the owner of established dailies Kurir and Glas javnosti, Kurir-sport was his second attempt (after his takeover and the eventual failure of Ekipa in 2005) at breaking the decades-long dominance of Sportski žurnal and JSL Sport on the sports daily market in Serbia.

However, much like Ekipa before it, Kurir-sport quickly found its readership lagging far behind the two established sports dailies. Launched in late 2007, the paper folded during spring 2008.

That was not the end of it, however, as on July 3, 2008, a group of 20 journalists formerly employed at Kurir-sport (out of the total 35 formerly employed at the short lived paper) decided to start a hunger strike in front of the Rodić's company offices claiming that he owes them between 3 and 4 million RSD (~38,000-50,000) in unpaid salaries.[1]
