Tanjug
Tanjug is a Serbian state news agency based in Belgrade.History
Founded in November 1943 as Yugoslavia's official news agency, its name is an acronym of its full original native name Telegrafska agencija nove Jugoslavije.
From 1975 to mid-1980s, Tanjug had a leading role in the Non-Aligned News Agencies Pool, a collaborating group of news agencies of the Non-Aligned Movement. The Yugoslav professionals helped equipping and training journalists and technicians in other NAM countries, mainly in Africa and South Asia.
On 31 October 2015, according to media rumors, Tanjug ceased its operations due to financial problems. Soon after, state secretary in the Ministry of Culture and Information eventually dispelled these rumors, but acknowledged the difficulties and said a public–private partnership could be the solution to the problem. However, since then most of its former employees are working on part-time contracts and have not guaranteed working rights.
