NIN (Serbian Cyrillic: НИН) is a weekly news magazine published in Belgrade, Serbia. Its name is an acronym for Nedeljne informativne novine (Недељне информативне новине) which roughly translates into Weekly Informational Newspaper.

Though a current events magazine in its essence, NIN also earned an esteemed reputation due to a long tradition of opening its pages to the best and the brightest within Serbian, and previously Yugoslav society, whether in arts, sciences, or even sports. This reputation has recently somewhat been tarnished^{[citation needed]} as the magazine was forced into commercial competition with numerous political periodicals that sprung up in Serbia after the dissolution of Yugoslavia.

As of 2007^[update], the magazine had 35 employees.

In July 2008, the magazine celebrated the release of its, 3000th issue.^[1] On March 13, 2009, it was announced that a majority stake in the magazine was bought by Swiss media company Ringier AG.^[2] NIN was sold to Jelena Drakulić Petrović in August 2023.^[3]

NIN used to be highly critical of Serbian president Aleksandar Vučić's populist regime and considered one of few independent media outlets. This all changed when Drakulić Petrović took over the ownership. As a result of the pressure by the owner towards the editors and journalists to become pro-regime oriented, complete editors office with most of the journalists left NIN and founded a new weekly Radar.^[4][5]
