Saša Mirković serves as an Assistant Professor at the Faculty of Media and Communications (FMK), Singidunum University in Belgrade, Serbia. His academic focus centers on journalism and media legislation within the contemporary political landscape, teaching specialized courses on 21st-century media laws. With a distinguished career spanning decades, he co-founded Radio B92 and served as General Director of Radio and Television B92 (1993-2004), later holding governmental positions as State Secretary and Assistant Minister for Culture and Information (2013-2016).
His educational background includes:
- Master's degree from the Faculty of Law, University of Belgrade
- Ph.D. from the Faculty of Media and Communications, University of Belgrade (dissertation: "Political will as a prerequisite for the adoption and implementation of media laws in the Republic of Serbia")
- Professional training at Louisiana State University (USA), European Center for Journalism (Maastricht), and George Washington University's School of Business and Public Management (Warsaw)
Professor Mirković's research critically examines media governance frameworks, analyzing whether comprehensive media legislation remains achievable in modern democracies or constitutes a utopian ideal. His work investigates the political economy of public broadcasting, focusing on funding mechanisms, editorial independence, and the tension between state influence and public service mandates. He also explores the role of media literacy in strengthening democratic institutions and civil society engagement.
His publications reveal a consistent analytical thread connecting legal theory with practical media management challenges. The 2021 handbook for public administrators emphasizes building media evaluation competencies among government officials to enhance transparency, while the 2017 study on RTS financing exposes hidden political dynamics in state broadcasting operations. Collectively, his work bridges regulatory frameworks, financial sustainability, and democratic accountability in transitional media systems.
