Mašina

Mašina is a Serbian media outlet that publishes information about society, labour rights and labour movements, women's rights, the environment, politics and culture. As a "space for the production of social criticism", which is its slogan, it fosters a critical approach to information and research on topics of importance to citizens that go beyond the daily news. "Mašina was created with the aim of encouraging critical journalism," says editor András Juhász.The outlet was founded in 2014 by the Kontekst association as a result of its project Kritička mašina (in Serbian: Critical Machine), which, through a series of educational events, such as seminars and debates, aimed to contribute to critical questioning of social and political events in Serbia. The Kontekst association nurtures critical and political action through contemporary art and culture.

Mašina publishes information primarily in Serbian, although part of it is translated into English, and uses social media platforms such as Facebook, Twitter, Instagram and YouTube to promote its content, build relationships with the audience, and direct traffic to its main plataform, i.e. its website.Mašina's work is financed mainly by grants.
