Ritam (Serbian: Ритам, English: Rhythm) was a Serbian and Yugoslav popular culture magazine.

Started in February 1989, it continued under various subtitles and publishing companies until 1995. Initially a monthly publication (from 1989 until 1991), Ritam's publishing frequency became fairly irregular from the beginning of the breakup of Yugoslavia in 1991 until the end of its run.

History[]

Ritam was founded in 1989[1] with the subtitle of Mesečni vodič kroz popularnu muziku, film, video, strip... i još više! (Monthly guide through popular music, film, video, comics... and more!).[1] It was co-published by two companies — Sportinvest from Belgrade and ROID Vuk Karadžić from Paraćin.[1] The magazine's first editor-in-chief was Momčilo Rajin.[1] The first Ritam issue, featuring U2 band members, actor Jackie Chan, and comic book character Corto Maltese on the cover, was released on February 1, 1989.[1] Until June 1990, 14 issues were released.[1]

From September 1990, the magazine adopted a new name, Novi Ritam (The New Rhythm), as well as a shortened subtitle, Mesečni vodič kroz popularnu kulturu (Monthly guide through popular culture), and Rajin's post was taken over by . The magazine staffers also registered their own publishing company called Ritam, and continued to cooperate with Paraćin's Vuk Karadžić.[1] This lasted until May 1991, during which time 8 issues appeared.[1]

At the end of 1992, following a year-and-a-half long gap, the magazine's third incarnation appeared, entitled Ritam again. Under editorship of , and in addition to Ritam publishing company, record label Sorabia Disc was also listed as the magazine's publisher.[1] Only two issues appeared under this setup, the first in October, with Rambo Amadeus on the cover, and the second in December, with Michael Stipe on the cover.[1]

In 1993, Ritam's fourth incarnation appeared. Again with Ambrozić as editor-in-chief, and with the subtitle Vodič kroz popularnu kulturu (Guide through popular culture), the annual issue was published for the year 1993.[1] Five more issues came out from May 1994 until June 1995 with irregular frequency.[1]

In 2004, online magazine Popboks was founded, containing a digitalized archive of Ritam.[2]
