We no longer expect, we demand urgent measures to save journalism in Croatia

“I felt the effects of coronavirus crisis right away because we freelancers work on a month-to-month basis, especially on Croatian Radiotelevision which I work with.

We would all rather work than sit at home. Independent artists now get 1600 kunas of help. We can’t survive on that”, said journalist, screenwriter, and director Danijela Stanojević who was left without income in the midst of a pandemic.
