Duga

Duga was a high-circulation newsmagazine published in Yugoslavia and Serbia from the early 1970s until the 2000s. The magazine was known for its opposition to communism and its interviews with Yugoslav dissidents. It was launched by the same staff that had previously worked on the Eva i Adam erotic magazine, which was shut down in the early 1970s due to accusations of 'spoiling the youth.'

Under the leadership of editor-in-chief Aleksandar "Saša" Badanjak, Duga quickly gained popularity, reaching a circulation of 270,000 copies in SFR Yugoslavia, with particular popularity in SR Slovenia. Despite the media freedoms that existed in Yugoslavia, chief editors were often sacked due to publishing controversial material.

In the 1990s, Duga continued its controversial reporting, with a column written by Mira Markovic, wife of Slobodan Milosevic. The column was known for its poetic reports about the seasons, but also carried indirect announcements of high politics sackings in the government. The column was printed in the magazine until 1997. Unfortunately, in 1994, Dada Vujasinovic, a journalist from the magazine, was shot dead possibly due to an unflattering article about the Serbian warlord and gangster Arkan.
