    Montenegrin TV Lacks Representation of Vulnerable Social Groups

    An analysis by the Agency for Audiovisual Media Services (AMU) found that only one percent of television programs in Montenegro are dedicated to vulnerable social groups, despite a positive approach without negative reporting. Public broadcasters dominated the coverage, with Adria TV, TV Podgorica, and TV Nikšić leading in reporting on these groups. Topics focused mainly on people with disabilities (39%), elderly (21%), and LGBTIQ+ population (15%). AMU recommends increasing the volume, diversity, and interactivity of contents dedicated to vulnerable groups.
