Article Abstract:

A non-profit government agency IREX/Pro Media brings media professionals from other countries into Bosnia-Herzegovina to act as consultants for struggling newspapers trying to make it as major independent dailies. US editors have been working with the Nezavisne Novine, a newspaper in the town of Banja Lukja, as design consultants. The Nezavisne Novine has a very small production room and is poorly lit. It does not have a graphics staff and there are no photographers.
