Recent projects
One of the major Media Watch projects in 2009 was devoted to the legendary newspaper Feral Tribune, from Split, Croatia. Together with the Peace Institute - Institute for Contemporary Social and Political Studies, Mediacentar (Sarajevo) and the Open Society Institute the heritage of Feral Tribune and its progressive journalism was evaluated at the many conferences held in the ex-Yugoslavia countries. The heritage of the Feral Tribune was preserved and digitalised as an online archive.
The books are distributed by Buča Bookselling and Publishing, and the Slovene texts are available online as e-books.
