Danas is a daily newspaper published in Belgrade. Its first issue appeared June 9, 1997. Right from the start the paper employed a strong independent editorial policy with respect to Milosevic's regime. Because of open reporting and uncensored coverage on issues and events plaguing Yugoslav and Serbian society in the late 1990s, the paper often found itself targeted by Serbian authorities.

Danas was one of the three newpapers (Dnevni telegraf and Nasa borba the other two) to be banned by governmental decree on October 14, 1998 for "spreading fear and defeatism" at a time when NATO bombing of FR Yugoslavia seemed a distinct possibility. As the threat of bombing went away (for a few months anyway), the ban was lifted on October 20, 1998, only to be replaced by a draconian piece of legislation called the Information Law. Dnevni telegraf was a Serbian daily tabloid published in Belgrade between 1996 and November 1998, and then also for a short time in Podgorica until March 1999. ...

Under that infamous law, Danas was fined severely and on numerous occasions. Paper's day-to-day operations were often under threat of shutting down until the regime was finally overthrown on October the 5th. The Bulldozer Revolution is the colloquial name for the series of events that occured in 2000 in the Federal Republic of Yugoslavia, that culminated with the downfall of Slobodan Miloševićs regime. ...

In the period since the regime change, Danas was one of the rare Serbian newspapers (or Serbian media outlets in general, for that matter) to ignore the commercial temptations of yellow journalism. It never resorted to entertainment gossip or cheap sensationalism in order to boost readership, all of which perhaps explains why its circulation has been continually in decline and why so far most of the foreign investors in Serbian media market have been avoiding it. Yellow journalism is a pejorative reference to journalism that features scandal-mongering sensationalism, jingoism or other unethical or unprofessional practices by news media organizations or individual journalists. ...

Today, Danas is standing as left oriented media, promoting issues related to former Yugoslavia, social-democracy and european integrations. It is among rare media supporters of Serbian NGO activities towards human rights and minorities protection. The newspaper tends to be popular among decision-makers.
