Beta is a private news agency based in Serbia .

The agency's focus is on reporting on events in Serbia and other ex- Yugoslav republics as well as the region of Southeast Europe .

Beta was founded in 1992. It started work in May 1994. During the tenure of Slobodan Milošević , she was counted among the so-called independent media (in contrast to Tanjug , the national press agency of Serbia).

The agency offers information services such as Betanews and Betaweek: a daily or weekly compilation of reports and press articles from the region. Other offerings include Beta Monitor, a business news bulletin , and Beta Defense, a security news bulletin.

In 2004 and 2005, Beta received grants from the state-affiliated US organization National Endowment for Democracy .
