With support by Snežana Tadić from Garden Centre and colleague Ženja Aćimović, Editor of “Dobra hrana”, they decorated the Christmas tree using multi-coloured honey cakes, with a touch of cinnamon and ginger.

In our office and printing facility in Novi Sad, employees led by a colleague Katarina Drobac also decorated Christmas trees, so that they could enjoy festive atmosphere every day.

Media in Serbia have been facing drops in advertising revenue ever since the global economic crisis began in 2008, and its latest wave might additionally impair business in this field. This conclusion was made by participants of a three-day seminar “Transit from traditional to new media channels”, which was held at Kopaonik last week, organized by a non-governmental organization “Integrations now!”, and with support by the United States of America Embassy in Belgrade. Senior advertising managers from Color Press Group Strahinja Antonić and Saša Maćešić also attended the seminar.
Michelle Foster, media consultant from Washington, pointed to the fact that Serbia’s specific characteristic lies in a small market being served by almost a thousand media companies, but she also emphasized that this type of business is experiencing difficulties even in the most developed countries. Together with drops in advertising revenue due to the crisis, traditional media platforms – print media, radio and television – are jeopardized by the Internet and mobile telephony, as new forms of distributing the information and entertainment content, which attract more and more audience, and gain larger profit.
To managers from approximately twenty most significant media companies in Serbia, Foster presented strategies carried out by great publishers from the US, which serve as a means to maintain the audience and advertisers as well. One of the biggest challenges is to use new platforms, Internet above all, in order to distribute the content. She explained that even the biggest publishers are making effort to find an optimal solution to gain revenue from Internet portals, limited by the fact that most online items are available free of charge.
Meanwhile, activities aimed at strengthening media brands and boosting their offer are of high importance, whether it is via traditional or new platforms, having in mind that it is necessary to analyze habits and needs of the audience first, and also to understand marketing goals set up by advertisers. Participants of the seminar agreed that being introduced to strategies developed by the greatest media companies in the world is very important, and in many aspects applicable in business at the Serbian market.
Zoran Sekulić, director of “Fonet” agency, and representative of media sector within the working group for drawing a media strategy, familiarized the seminar participants with difficulties regarding adoption of a document which defines the direction of public information sector in Serbia until 2016. He expressed doubt whether deadlines prescribed by the Action plan for implementation of the strategy will be met, primarily concerning a transit from budget to project financing, and taking into account that regulative measures at media scene will arrive later than expected due to elections scheduled to take place in the forthcoming year.

Aron Puri
President of FIPP and “India Today”
Official opening of the congress was marked by a speech delivered by the Indian Information Minister Ambica Sony, who said that over the last ten years her country had come a long way in terms of liberating the media scene. Today in India there are tens of foreign media companies, whereas local publishers are engaged in publishing hundreds of domestic and licensed magazines, which had not been the case before 2002, the year when media laws were liberated.
Aroon Puri, President of FIPP and media house “India Today”, said that in future magazine publishers should be more innovative, claiming that it was the only way to survive at the media scene. Furthermore, he reiterated that latest researches revealed that readers were more loyal to magazines than to daily newspapers, which was proved by rise in circulation figures that certain monthly magazines registered, whereas daily newspapers were everywhere caught in the declining trend. Rome will host the next Magazine World Congress, in September 2013.

Discover the culinary magic with us!
The most read showbiz portal in the region svet.rs has recorded an exceptional rise of visits in the past two months! In December 2010, according to the data of Google Analytics, we had 2,170,697 visits and 12,811,080 viewed pages, and in January 2011, despite holidays and non-working days, we had 2,229,382 visits and 14,120,123 visited pages!
This rise in the number of visits is certainly the consequence of numerous exclusive information and photographs that appeared for the first time exactly on our portal, and they were cited on other portals and newspapers in Serbia and in the entire region. “The season” has started with the sensational discovery that Severina Vuckovic has a new millionaire boyfriend, Milan Popovic.
This information was broadcast on svet.rs at 12:14 on December 28, 2010 and it was cited by several dozens of portals in the region in only a few hours. A day later, in her interview for the Croatian edition of Gloria, Severina admits that she has a new relationship and confirms the entire story from our portal. In the following days, we were first to discover many details related to the past life of Severina’s new boyfriend.
Soon after that, we were first to broadcast the news that the finalist of this year’s Survivor, Katarina Vucetic, has a new boyfriend – a businessman and the former MP from the Democratic Party, Alen Selimovic. We have also published their first photo together, taken in Imperia club in Moscow.
After Anabela’s mention of her “unnamed hair stylist” in Ognjen Amidzic’s show on TV Pink, svet.rs portal discovers, only a few hours later, that the person in question is Vladimir Simic, in whom supposedly, according to Anabela, her ex-boyfriend Mladen Radulovic had fallen in love with.
And finally, after Natasa Bekvalac declared on her Facebook profile that something big happened between her and Daca, and by doing so announced their divorce, svet.rs was first to publish full name and photos of Milica Drazin, who was a cause for the divorce between the famous couple.
We were first to publish the information that the couple visited their divorce lawyer, Dragan Gojkovic, on January 23 and many other details related to this case.
In a “war” waged against daily newspapers and other internet portals – svet.rs won many “battles”, with a lot of effort. Some other battles have been won and will be won by other newspapers and portals, but this is what competition is all about. It is very important to stress that almost all print media and internet portals in Serbia have acquired a practice of citing the original source from which the news had been taken, which is a proof that fair play and western standards are not unknown to our media.
At the same time, print edition of Svet magazine recorded high circulation in January, because it published information, interviews and photographs related to many showbiz scandals which other portals and daily newspapers could not get a hold of, on a weekly basis. This contributes to the fact that, despite the era of overall digitalization, well-composed print and internet media could coexist for a long time without mutual exclusion.
A year behind us was marked by a great rise in penetration of the Internet, in Serbia as well as on global level, and this also implies the increase in budget for online advertising.
Portals produced by Color Press Group recorded a rise in a number of visits by 159% starting from January (1,525,984 visits) up to December (3,967,230 visits).
CPG plans to launch several new portals in Serbia in 2011, as well as to expand our best known brand “Lepota i zdravlje” (Health and Beauty) in the region by running the following portals:www.ljepotaizdravlje.ba and www.ljepotaizdravlje.hr.
