'I don't want everyone to know where I was': Mojmira Pastorčić reveals why she never opened a profile on any social network

Mojmira Pastorčić, editor-in-chief of RTL Direct, has revealed she has never created a profile on any social media platform, despite being one of the most recognizable television personalities in Croatia. In an open discussion, she explained her decision to remain offline, emphasizing her desire for privacy and a preference for keeping personal life separate from public exposure. Pastorčić stated she does not have accounts on platforms such as Facebook, Instagram, X, or TikTok. She expressed discomfort with the constant sharing typical of social media and emphasized that she does not wish for everyone to know where she has been, who she spends time with, or her interests. “I simply don’t want to share these things,” she said. “Nor do I want to know all about others. I think we don’t need to know everyone’s political views or what they did over the weekend. It's just a lot of unnecessary information.” While she maintains a clear boundary between work and private life, Pastorčić acknowledged the role of social media in shaping modern journalism. She noted that many stories and public sentiments emerge from online platforms and that younger colleagues in her newsroom monitor these trends continuously. “I can stay aside while the team uses these platforms professionally,” she added. She also addressed the ongoing debate about the decline of traditional media, stating that despite claims of television’s demise, new formats such as short videos and clips from social networks have successfully attracted younger audiences back to screens. “These formats have brought young viewers back to television,” she concluded. Michael Dell, founder of the technology company Dell, recently defended his wife, Susan Dell, against criticism regarding her appearance on social media. After visiting President Donald Trump at the White House on October 7, the couple announced a donation of over six billion dollars aimed at providing financial assistance to twenty-five million children through investment accounts. Instead of focusing on their charitable initiative, media and social media users turned attention to Susan Dell’s looks, speculating about possible plastic surgery. While Susan herself remained silent on the issue, her husband took to X to defend her. He shared posts from individuals whose children had received $250 in financial aid from Susan, including messages expressing gratitude and calling for respect towards her. One post read, “My grandchild received $250 on his account from Susan Dell. Please, leave that woman alone.” Many interpreted this as a clear endorsement of his wife.
