SloveniaThe editor of Spletni časopis has announced that they will temporarily stop working on the platform due to taking on the role of chief editor at Siol.net. The website and all previously published articles will remain accessible to readers. The author expresses gratitude to supporters who helped sustain the publication during a period of depolitization in the media, initiated by the coalition led by Robert Golob. This depolitization affected Siol.net, leading to changes in leadership and staff challenges partly linked to pre-election reasons. The author highlights that Spletni časopis demonstrated that journalists could operate independently without backing from large companies or wealthy owners, despite the loss of public interest status by the Ministry of Culture under Asta Vrečko. The author also mentions being censored on Siol.net for critical articles about key politicians, including Asta Vrečko, Robert Golob, and Zoran Janković. They thank those who supported their work and apologize if any mistakes were made.
Bias read (Center): The article discusses the depolitization of media in Slovenia and the impact on independent journalism, but presents the situation factually without overtly favoring any political side. It includes personal reflections and gratitude but does not exhibit clear ideological bias in its framing or tone.
