Južne vesti reports on politics, society, economy, sports and culture in southern Serbia. It was founded in 2009 by Simplicity d.o.o., a company based in Niš. Simplicity d.o.o. specialises in web development, design and visual arts, as well as online marketing.
In 2018, the media organisation and portal 021 from Novi Sad, in northern Serbia, partnered with the BBC. "The informational portal 021 is mainly aimed at the audience in the northern Serbian province of Vojvodina, while the service of Južne vesti is directed towards the south of the country. The independent and objective content of both portals follows an editorial policy that is in line with the editorial standards of the BBC," the BBC News Serbian Service wrote on its website.
Južne vesti is a member of Lokal Press, a Serbian association of local independent media that advocates for freedom of speech and supports local media that publish news of public interest. It is also a member of the Asocijacija nezavisnih elektronskih medija – ANEM (in English: Association of Independent Electronic Media), which supports freedom of expression and protects the interests of its members. Južne vesti is one of the founders of the Asocijacija onlajn medija – AOM (in English: Association of Online Media of Serbia).
The portal is financed mainly through international grants and advertising. In 2021, it added another source of revenue: the Vajdica.be's webshop, which sells T-shirts with illustrations of places and personalities associated with the city of Niš.
