According to the official, publicly available biographies, Dragan Vučićević worked for the Politika, Blic, Glas javnosti, and Demokratija. After 2000, he was one of the founders of the daily newspapers Nacional, Kurir, and Press. All newspapers in the founding of which Vučićević participated can be categorized as tabloids. The Nacional was founded in 2001. However, its publication was temporarily banned during the state of emergency declared in March 2003 after the assassination of then Prime Minister Zoran Đinđić. The paper was then shut down.
Vučićević then founded the Kurir with a group of journalists, leaving it at the end of 2005 after a dispute with the owners. Then he founded the daily newspaper Press, which was shut down in November 2012 after the statement of Serbian businessman Miroslav Mišković that he was retiring from this newspaper.
Dragan Vučićević left the Press in December 2011 and founded Insajder Tim d.o.o. on March 9, 2012, the company that owns the Informer. He was the CEO of this company for only 20 days, and then Damir Dragić was officially appointed as the new CEO. Vučićević is listed in the Business Registers Agency as one of the other legal representatives of the company.
In addition to being the owner and editor-in-chief of the Informer, Vučićević is known for being the presenter of Teška reč on TV Pink. Since 2023, when the company Insajder Tim entered the cable television project, Dragan Vučićević has been the editor-in-chief of all the Informer publications, and a separate editor-in-chief has been appointed for the print publication of the Informer. The elaboration of this television, published on social networks by Jelena Jerinić, an MP from the Green-Left Club (Zeleno-levi klub), shows that it will broadcast collegiums and daily news from the daily newspaper Informer, and a program dedicated to "the new patriotism in the current moment" called "Serbia in the first place," and that the morning program does not have an "excessive form or stiffness."
