Established in 2016 under the slogan "Quis custodiet ipsos custodes?" (in English: Who guards the guardians?), the blog IN MEDIA RES (in English: In media there is truth) is one of the most critical voices in commenting on and analysing media reporting in Slovenia.
IN MEDIA RES is not formally established, does not accept donations nor sponsors and it is entirely a personal and volunteer project of its founder and sole contributor: Boris Vezjak. A self-described "cyber dissident" and a professor of philosophy and media at the University of Maribor, Vezjak is also an author of several books on media.
Between 2006 and 2008, Vezjak was the editor of the now-defunct media watchdog platform. His current initiative is a non-formal and non-systematic continuation of his work as an editor of the aforementioned watchdog platform, though he refuses to define it as a proper "watchdog portal" since the analyses in it are not systematic due to the limited capacities of the author.
The blog publishes several analyses of media reports a week, often on the same day as the media pieces that are the subject of investigation. Its contents are released as articles, opinion pieces and through the namesake IN MEDIA RES podcast.
