OSCE Mission to Montenegro donates a set of desktop computers to Portal Analitika

The OSCE Mission to Montenegro delivered a set of desktop computers with additional equipment to the media outlet Portal Analitika on 19 November 2020 in Podgorica. This is only a part of the donation planned, with a second part to be delivered when the epidemiological situation in the country will allow. The activity is part of the Mission’s efforts to strengthen private media in Montenegro and contribute to their further professionalization and adaption to the challenges of digitalization.  

“In a rapidly digitalizing world, it is of utmost importance for journalists to keep up with the latest technological trends, to further improve their journalistic work through use of digital tools to provide the public with high quality content,” said Maryse Daviet, Head of the OSCE Mission to Montenegro.

She underlined that there are a myriad of media formats and for media houses to stay competitive, they need technological tools to produce relevant and reliable information. “The Mission supports private and public service media in Montenegro in their efforts to stay competitive and sustainable,” said Daviet.

Tinka Đuranović, Executive Director of Portal Analitika, expressed her gratitude for the donation and described it as extremely important and useful for the editorial office. “Computers with a quality configuration will enable journalists and editors to use more advanced platforms and services for creating and placing visual content,” said Đuranović.

The challenges to working conditions caused by the COVID-19 pandemic make using new platforms and upgrading technical equipment even more important. The Mission remains committed to supporting media professionalization in Montenegro.
