Informer

Informer is a Serbian tabloid newspaper based in Belgrade. It is known for its political bias in favor of the ruling Serbian Progressive Party (SNS) and its sensationalist stories. The newspaper has been accused of spreading disinformation and sensationalism. As of 2016, it claims without documentation to be the highest-circulation daily in Serbia, alleging over 100,000 copies distributed daily. The newspaper addresses politics, regional and world news, popular culture, health, and sports. It practices yellow journalism. It is notorious for publishing false information, as well as for insulting and discrediting President Aleksandar Vučić's political opponents. It publishes articles with chauvinist and sexist biases. Controversies In 2015, Informer manufactured an international scandal by publishing screenshots of a porn video starring American pornographic actress Diamond Foxxx, with accompanying text that falsely alleged the stills were from a sex tape featuring the President of Croatia, Kolinda Grabar-Kitarović. This was "sharply condemned" by Serbia's Ministry of Culture and Information, which called for sanctions, as well as by MP Azra Jasavić of neighbouring Montenegro, where the newspaper is also published. Jasavić called for changes in law to prevent Informer from its "brutalisation of women", whom Jasavić said are targeted by the tabloid.
