As the largest city of Bosnia and Herzegovina, Sarajevo is the main center of the country's media. Most of the communications and media infrastructure was destroyed during the war but reconstruction monitored by the [[High Representative for Bosnia and Herzegovina|Office of the High Representative]] has helped to modernize the industry as a whole.<ref>European Journalism Centre (November 2002).

''[[Oslobođenje]]'' (Liberation), founded in 1943, is Sarajevo's longest-running continuously circulating newspaper and the only one to survive the war. However, this long-running and trusted newspaper has fallen behind ''[[Dnevni avaz]]'' (Daily Voice), founded in 1995, and ''Jutarnje Novine'' (Morning News) in circulation in Sarajevo.<ref>Udovicic, Radenko (3 May 2002).

''[[Novi Plamen]]'', a monthly magazine, is the most left-wing publication.

The [[Radio and Television of Bosnia and Herzegovina]] (BHRT) is Sarajevo's [[public broadcasting|public television]] station and was created in 1945 under the umbrella of the [[Yugoslav Radio Television]] (JRT). It had its first television program aired in 1961, while continuous programming started in 1969. It is one of three main TV stations in Bosnia and Herzegovina. Other stations based in the city include [[Hayat TV (Bosnia and Herzegovina)|Hayat TV]], [[O Kanal]], [[OBN (TV channel)|OBN]], [[TVSA|TV Kantona Sarajevo]] and [[TV Alfa]].

The headquarters of [[Al Jazeera Balkans]] is also in Sarajevo, with a broadcasting studio at the top of the [[ARIA Centar]]. The news channel covers [[Bosnia and Herzegovina]], [[Serbia]], [[Croatia]] and [[Montenegro]] and the surrounding [[Balkans|Balkan]] states.<ref>{{cite web |url=http://www.dw-world.de/dw/article/0,,6031138,00.html |title=Al Jazeera makes its Balkan debut &#124; Europe &#124; Deutsche Welle &#124; 22 September 2010 |publisher=Deutsche Welle |access-date=15 September 2011 |archive-date=15 August 2011 |archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20110815011856/http://www.dw-world.de/dw/article/0,,6031138,00.html |url-status=live }}</ref>
