Whenever they feel threatened, or their viewer and reader ratings are on a downward slope, United Group, owned by Dragan Šolak, resorts to their old model – attack and fake news.
Yesterday was no different. Given that compared to them the Kurir.rs portal, TV Kurir, and the Kurir daily have been overwhelmingly dominant on all platforms – website, TV, and print – United Group has mounted an attack. Šolak's entire machinery has sprung into action, and in this they have not been shrinking from any means available to them.
The Kurir website has three times more visitors than Nova and four times more than N1
Following the principle "We attack anyone who beats us in business", Šolak's media – self-proclaimed as independent and objective – have published pure, unadulterated fake news on Kurir (AMG). As before, everything follows an established pattern – first, TV N1 or its portal publishes something; then, this gets picked up by other media outlets from Šolak's group. It is evident that panic has swept across United Group due to all of their results plummeting.
And what do the results show? Kurir's sweeping victory and overwhelming domination on all platforms.
The Kurir website is the only website in Serbia which manages to secure first place in daily rankings across Gemius's four categories of reader ratings: number of readers, website visits, opened web pages, and total time on website.
This makes it a top-performance media outlet with the most loyal readership in the market. There has not for years been a media outlet in Serbia on which readers spend more time than on Kurir.
TV Kurir more popular than N1 and Nova S
For the sake of comparison, Kurir.rs has three times more visitors daily than the Nova website, and four time more than N1. Adria Media Group and all its online editions – receiving up to 92 million monthly visits from Serbia, excluding the diaspora – is more than twice as big as United Media websites, in terms of nearly all measurable internet parameters.
Moreover, although it has been around for just over a year, TV Kurir has beaten Nova S in terms of viewership ratings, and has increasingly been getting more viewers than N1, itself in operation for seven years.
Kurir among two most widely read newspapers
Furthermore, Kurir's print edition is incomparably more widely read than the Nova daily. Kurir is ranked among the two most widely read dailies in Serbia. It is evident that Kurir is more attuned to the needs of the domestic audiences, who have been rewarding us with their trust every day, for which we are very grateful to them, and promise more interesting, high-quality content.
