The report “New Media – Old Problems 2020” is a continuation of a three-year analysis of the digital media sector in Montenegro. In addition to the position of employees and the situation in digital media, this year we also have analysed the impact of the Covid-19 pandemic and the possible effects it could have on both the portals and their employees. The report presents the findings of desk research and surveys with owners and journalists employed in digital media. It is a continuation of the research conducted in 2018 and 2019, which was the first research in this area in Montenegro. The report summarizes the findings of a three-year research and monitoring of the situation in online media and offers recommendations for improving and resolving the identified problems.
