RTV opens evening news with apology to viewers over years of biased reporting

Radio-Television of Vojvodina (RTV) began its 5 p.m. news bulletin on Monday with an apology to viewers for years of one-sided and uncritical reporting. After showing footage of celebrations in Novi Sad following the Student List's victory in Sunday's parliamentary election, presenter Goran Eror said the public broadcaster had failed to show viewers some of the scenes from the previous night. "For many years, the public service broadcaster failed to fulfil its role. Things were kept quiet, one-sided information was provided and reporting was uncritical. The right questions were not asked, or no questions were asked at all. We owe viewers an apology for that," Eror read from a statement.
