There are also changes on the top list, but let us start from the beginning.

On the other hand, the growth of revenue in 2018 was driven by Color media international under the direction of Robert Čoban, publisher of several magazines and weeklies such as Gloria, Story, Ljepota i zdravlje and many others. Color media is present in all SEE markets and is expanding quite strongly.
Among the portals, the Internet group, the publisher of Telegraf, has jumped in our list from 25th to 22nd place. The Telegraf is now behind Kurir and Blic in the portal viewership and is high on the 3rd place of the list we published for the July, so the fight is expected to continue in the fall.
There is no Alo company on this year’s list because Bisnode has not yet released its revenue data. Two years ago, Alo had 1.7 million euros in revenue and ranked 23rd.
Radio Bubonja, Sos Kanal, TV Most, AS media and STV from Šid were removed from the 40 largest media list.
