the son of Radisav Rodić, the founder of the Kurir tabloid. He has been present on the media scene since 2009 when he took over the management of the daily newspaper Kurir after his father's arrest.
In 2014, Aleksandar Rodić expanded his business activities by purchasing the Adria Media Group, the largest media business group in the Balkans, which at the time published, among others, the magazines Elle, National Geographic, Newsweek, Cosmopolitan and Men’s Health.
Since its establishment, Kurir has changed its editorial policy several times, but it has mostly remained the voice of the ruling party. Under the leadership of Aleksandar Rodić, the editorial policy favoured the Democrats (then the ruling party). After the Democratic Party lost the 2012 elections, Kurir changed its editorial policy – it began attacking former Democratic Party officials and reporting in favour of the Serbian Progressive Party.
Such a policy of this paper continues to this day, with a short break in 2015. That year, Kurir tried to take over the management of the daily newspaper Politika, which led to a conflict with the authorities and the Serbian Progressive Party.
In November 2015, Rodić was at the centre of the attention of the wider public after he published an author's text "Serbia, sorry" on the front page of the Kurir, in which he apologized to the citizens of Serbia because, as stated in the article, he was forced to join Aleksandar Vučić's propaganda team. After the publication of the article, a long-lasting public debate began between Rodić, Željko Mitrović, the owner of Pink TV, and Dragan J. Vučićević, the owner and editor of the Informer tabloid. The public conflict lasted several months, and then the Kurir returned to its usual editorial policy.
In June 2017, Kurir published an article entitled "Vučić finances private army through EPS". The newspaper announced that Aleksandar Vučić, the former prime minister and current president of the country, was involved in the financing of football fan groups through the companies "Elektroprivreda Srbije" and "Aerodrom Nikola Tesla Beograd" in exchange for services provided by those groups. This started a new series of public conflicts between Rodić, Vučićević and Mitrović. Rodić then announced his entry into politics, stating that he had enough courage to oppose Vučić's dictatorship and the censorship of the Serbian media.
After an open conflict with the President of Serbia, Adria Media Group experienced serious financial problems. This company's accounts were blocked for months and normal operations were prevented. For a long time, Rodić was looking for a new business partner who would provide stability to the company. Negotiations regarding the sale of the company lasted almost two years.
At the end of 2018, the company Mondo Inc officially became the owner of 100 percent of Adria Media Group (AMG), and the decision to change ownership was announced on January 4, 2019, on the website of the Agency for Business Registers (APR).
