An interview with Brankica Petković, a long-time editor of the Medijska preža journal and the Media Watch book series, published at the Peace Institute in Ljubljana. These publications provided a critical analysis of media and their role in wider society. In the interview, we discussed the role of Medijska preža in the analysis of the media system and how both the journal and the book series emerged and operated. We also discussed the contradictions that stemmed from the financial support given by George Soros’s Open Society Foundation, and reflected on the wider social context in which media get reduced to nothing more than industries that rarely even pretend anymore to serve the public.
