OSCE Mission to Montenegro supports Nova M TV to adopt to digitalization challenges

In its efforts to strengthen private media in Montenegro and contribute to their further professionalization and adaption to the digitalization challenges, the OSCE Mission to Montenegro delivered a set of seven desktop computers to the media outlet Nova M TV on 21 October 2021 in Podgorica.

The donation will enable Nova M to improve the professionalism of its daily reporting, and stay competitive in the market.

Zuzana Paukova, the Mission’s Media Programme Manager, said that in time of the COVID-19 pandemic, the media has challenging tasks, coupled with insufficient resources to carry them out. “In order to help them continue to be a source of relevant information, the Mission provided Nova M with needed equipment to maintain quality reporting,” said Paukova.

Ivana Šebek, Executive Director of Nova M TV said that this valuable donation of technical equipment came at the right time, when the TV studio has been redesigned and the innovated visual identity of the television presented. “Our motto is to inform objectively, accurately and promptly. This is why the workshops and educational seminars organized by the OSCE Mission to Montenegro are of great importance for our journalists. The role of the OSCE in further improving the position of journalists in Montenegro is immense,” said Šebek.

The Mission remains committed to supporting media professionalization in Montenegro.
