He was an associate of The Centre for Liberal-Democratic studies (CLDS) in Belgrade, and author of the project "Hate-mongering and words spoken in public - ethical problems", which was held in several cities in Serbia from January to May 2004.

He became a member of staff of the first radio station outside of the radio-diffusion system of Serbia – Studio B in early 1977. From a journalist-contributor, over the position of editor, editor-in-chief, host of numerous popular TV and radio talk shows, he built a career of a professional and independent journalist. Starting with 1989. he’s deputy general manager and program director of Studio B (which then consisted of three radio channels, the first transmitted 24 hrs a day informative news program, the second – ethno-music and news, and the third – 12 hrs a day of classical music). In the same year he became one of the founders and owners of the first independent television station in Eastern Europe, NTV Studio B, which was shut down by police on March 28, 1990 after just one hour of program transmission. In November the same year, NTV Studio B started broadcasting the program, in spite of all government resistance. It was the most quoted source of information in the European media during that period. Mr. Roganović still performed the function of program director of radio and television and deputy general manager of the firm. In May 1995, he became the general manager and editor-in-chief of all TV and radio programs. Following the orders of Slobodan Milošević in 1996, the police stormed the Studio B, dismissed the entire news staff, fired the management and turned the then private firm NTV Studio B into a government firm, which Studio B remains even today (the district court still handles the process of returning the company to its prior owners). Roganović was, in the meantime, as the governments changed, three times fired and taken back to work.
