Mario Jurič


Editor, Presenter and Reporter at RTL

A television journalist, reporter, anchor, and news editor at RTL, with 15 years of professional experience across television, radio, and digital media.

I began my career at Radio Dubrovnik, after which I joined RTL as a correspondent based in Dubrovnik. The majority of my professional journey was at Nova TV, where I worked for 10 years as a reporter covering Split, Dalmatia, and beyond.

As a field reporter, I cover a wide range of topics. Highlights include major events such as reporting on the passing of Pope Francis, the conclave, and the election of a new pope Leo XIV in 2025; local, parliamentary, and presidential elections in 2024 and 2025; and special projects such as exclusive collaboration with the French Army during the Pegase 2025 military exercise, as well as the AI Summit in Paris in 2025. My reporting has also covered major wildfires in Dalmatia, the construction and opening of the Pelješac bridge, elections and political crisis in Bosnia and Herzegovina and Serbia, as well as various political and economic topics, including issues in the shipbuilding industry and major public affairs scandals.

Since 2026 I am the host of the RTL Detektor podcast on the net.hr website, as part of the ADMO 2.0 project which aims to strengthen public resilience to disinformation.

In addition to my work on television, I am also active in education as a lecturer at the Faculty of Media and Public Relations at the University of Dubrovnik, where I give lectures and workshops on television reporting for first-year students.

I am a member of the Croatian Journalists’ Association, the Society for the Protection of Journalistic Copyright, and the Society of Dubrovnik Residents in Zagreb. I am an alumnus of the University of Dubrovnik and of the U.S. State Department’s International Visitor Leadership Program (IVLP), which brings together more than 230,000 members worldwide.

I have participated in numerous panels and conferences on the role of media and  communication in Dubrovnik and Split.

I hold a Master’s degree in Public Media – graduated in 2011 from the Department of Communication Science at the University of Dubrovnik.
