The Center for Investigative Journalism (CINS) points out in a statement tonight the “inaccuracy in Jovana Polić’s statement for the FoNet series ‘Offense'”, from which, it is estimated, can be understood that the journalist of the CINS Vladimir Kostić and the Center itself “brought her and her associates into danger,” as well as considering it a success.
According to the statement, “Jovana Polić claimed that the CINS journalist and the editor of the investigative article on the production and payment of television commercials in favor of the boycott of the previous elections, Vladimir Kostić, said that the CINS broke the media blockade by convey the facts of the story Informer, but did not explain that it was a tweet from Vladimir Kostić, as well as that his colleague Kostić explicitly explained that the tweet was ironic. “
“The tweet quoted by Jovana Polić has just pointed out the hypocrisy of the pro-government tabloids and the abuse of credible journalism for political propaganda,” explains CINS.
“As Jovana Polić”, according to CINS, “immediately added that it is dangerous to appear on the front page of said media, from her statement it can be understood how her colleague Kostić and CINS put her and her associates in danger, as well as what we consider it a success. “
Being regularly attacked in pro-government tabloids, the statement added, CINS is “very often in a situation where it is in such danger and is not responsible for irresponsible media actions and abuse of published, undoubted and proven facts. “.
Recalling that the CINS has “repeatedly investigated the illegal and suspicious financing of pro-government media with state money,” the statement indicates that “said media and journalists, who work for the benefit of a political entity,” are in conflict with the Journalists Code of Serbia, according to which he is open to advocate for a party or political option incompatible with the journalistic profession.
In a statement, the CINS announced that, “contrary to the unethical practice of the media and journalists who violate the Code, it will continue to choose research topics according to strict professional criteria and in the interest of all Serbian citizens, regardless of their political or other orientation or affiliation. “
As specified, “CINS will continue to show solidarity with professional colleagues who suffer attacks from the ruling party, or from any other medium and from politicians in general, in defense of the dignity and freedom of our profession.”
