History
It was first issued as Glas on 31 July 1943 as a bulletin of the People's Liberation Movement in Bosnian Krajina region during World War II in Yugoslavia. The issue was published in the village of Župica with the first redaction including Skender Kulenović, Ilija Došen, Đuro Pucar, Rada Vranješević, Vilko Vinterhalter, Osman Karabegović and Boško Šiljegović. Osman Karabegović recorded that the redaction and printing press moved to Ribnik in August of that year.

For some time it went under the name Banjalučke novine and from 1963 it was again under the name Glas, until 1983 it was a daily newspaper. Between 1973 and 2007 the newspaper published the David Štrbac daily comic created by Miro Mlađenović (1949–2007) who was inspired by Petar Kočić’s literary work.

Since 2003 it goes under the name Glas Srpske and it is a private newspaper, one of eight newspapers in Bosnia and Herzegovina.
