Žaklina Tatalović

She began her career as a journalist at the age of 19. After graduating from the BK School of Journalism, Tatalović stayed on to work as a volunteer at BK, where she went from being a street reporter in the morning program to an accredited journalist at the United Nations headquarters in New York City. In an interview, she said that it was while working at BK that she learned everything she knows about journalism. According to her own words, she has no role models in journalism, but she was "lucky" to have had Aleksandar Tijanić, Srđan Đurić, Bojana Lekić [sr], Milomir Marić, Olja Milošević, Igor Šanjević as her editors, from whom she learned a lot.^{[2][unreliable source?]}

In 2006, she moved from BK to Fox and worked in almost all editorial departments there. As a reporter for the news program, she reported from legislative sessions of the National Assembly, and she gained recognition by asking her interlocutors very direct questions. She was a contributor to the show Veče sa Ivanom Ivanovićem and many of the questions that Ivan Ivanović [sr] asked his guests on the show were written by Žaklina Tatalović.^{[citation needed]}

In 2018, when Fox was transformed into Prva Srpska Televizija, Tatalović disagreed with the new editorial policy^[3] and she decided to leave that house after 12 years and move to N1,^[1] where she still works today as a journalist in the news department.^[4]

She advocates for objective journalism^[5][6] and direct access to interlocutors. She raised topics, namely scandals and criticisms directed against the ruling coalition gathered around the Serbian Progressive Party.^[7][8] Due to her approach at press conferences, which he characterized as impolite, President of Serbia Aleksandar Vučić stated that she "deserved to be kicked out of the press conference a long time ago".^[7]

She is often the target of inappropriate comments,^[9] insults by pro-regime tabloids,^[10] media^[11] and dissenters^[12] and she also received direct threats.^[13][14]

Žaklina Tatalović appears as herself in the 13th episode of season 2 of the series Marked in the Racket.^[15]

She claims that her grandfather is Nikola Hajdin.
