    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.

    Chlorine in Tap Water Linked to Uterine Cancer Risk

    A new study involving over 53,000 California women has found a significant connection between chlorinated drinking water and an increased risk of uterine cancer. The study, spanning 25 years, identified trihalomethane byproducts of chlorination as particularly concerning, with chloroform increasing the risk by 27 percent for the most common tumor form. These chemicals act as endocrine disruptors, promoting cancer formation by disrupting hormone balance. The study suggests outdated regulatory limits and advocates for safer disinfection methods such as UV light or ozonation.
