Dubious finances

This narrative has been adopted by disinformation purveyors and adapted to the specific context of each country:

Narratives: Novosti is targeted by an ample array of financial false narrative designed to question the legitimacy and independence of the publication by painting its funding as either improper, politically motivated, or ideologically biased. The false rhetorics range from arguing that Novosti should not receive state support at all, given its perceived lack of market viability, to that if state funds are to be allocated, they should only go to media that promote Croatian nationalist and culturally conservative ideals. There is a third smearing narrative claiming that Novosti misuses public funds alleging that the news outlet exploits its position for political gain rather than fulfilling its role in fostering Serbian minority culture.
