Photo Essay - How Milosevic controlled the media



Under Siege


Television Tune-Out

In order to bypass the government's crackdown on dissemination of information during pro-democracy mass protests in 1996, B92, Yugoslavia's largest independent radio station, used the Internet to continue broadcasting news. In June 1997, when this picture was taken, a network of independent radio stations across Yugoslavia was created, making B92, once heard only in central Belgrade, available in over 80 percent of Yugoslavia within a year. By June 1998, the network had an audience of 1.6 million, competing with state-controlled Radio Belgrade's audience of 2.4 million.
