Informer is a pro-government daily tabloid newspaper published in Belgrade, Serbia. As of 2016, it is allegedly highest-circulation daily in Serbia, with over 100,000 copies sold every day.

The newspaper deals with various topics including politics, regional and world news, popular culture, health, and sports. It is known for political bias in favor of the currently ruling Serbian Progressive Party[6]

It is also notorious[7][8] for publishing false information,[9][10][11]insulting and discrediting Aleksandar Vučić's political opponents.[12] The texts published by the tabloid sometimes include chauvinist discourse.[13][14][15][16]

In 2015., Informer was responsible for a scandal after publishing screenshots of a porn clip starring American adult actress Diamond Foxxx, for which the newspapers claimed to be a secret sex tape of Croatian President Kolinda Grabar Kitarović.[17] This action was "sharply condemned" by Serbian Ministry of Culture and Information which called for sanctioning of individuals responsible for this,[18] as well as MP Azra Jasavić in neighbouring Monteregro, where these newspapers are also being published. Jasavić called for changes in law that would prevent Informer's "brutaisation over women" which are according to her being especially targeted by this tabloid.[19]
