Dragan Joletov Vučićević (Serbian: Драган Јолетов Вучићевић; born 9 October 1973) is a Serbian journalist. He is the editor of Informer. He is known for his pro-government stance and controversial statements.
Vučićević was born on 9 October 1973 in Czechoslovakia.[1] He graduated in journalism from the Faculty of Political Sciences at the University of Belgrade.[2]
In his early career, Vučićević worked for the daily newspapers Politika, Blic, Glas javnosti and Demokratija, the newspaper of the Democratic Party. In the late 1990s, Marko Milošević, the son of Slobodan Milošević, threatened to kill him because of a text about the birth of his son.
In the 2000s, he was among the founders of Nacional, Kurir and Press and worked in those newspapers. Nacional was temporarily banned from publishing following the assassination of Prime Minister Zoran Đinđić.[3]
In May 2012, Vučićević founded Informer, which is known for its sensationalist and biased reporting, often favoring the Government and smearing the opposition, independent media, NGOs, and other perceived enemies of the regime and the ruling Serbian Progressive Party and President Aleksandar Vučić.[4] [5]
In 2023, he was convicted of defamation and sentenced to pay a fine of 200,000 RSD or serve a six-month prison term for insulting Jugoslav Ćosić, a former director of N1 channel.[6] [7]
He has six children.
