- Administrative/biographical history:
- The local weekly magazine "Sloboda" published its first edition on 22 October 1944. At first, it published its articles on two pages, in the format 1/8B. The first articles dealt with military and political issues and tried to foster the aid collection for the troops at the front. Due to the lack of finances the magazine ceased to exist on 15 April 1949 but it resumed its activity on 18 April 1953. From 1955 the publisher was the Association of the Socialist People until 1990 when the magazine transformed to the “Weekly Independent Newspaper“. By the decision of the Municipal Assembly of Pirot, in 2007, from the Information Working Organisation "Sloboda", three public companies were formed and later privatised. In November 2007, "Sloboda"became a private newspaper, owned by Tomislav Radomirovic from Niš.
