Is one of the most known faces in the Macedonian media scene. She has been active in the journalistic field since 1995 and is mostly known as a journalist and former editor at "Sitel" television. During the reign of the VMRO-DPMNE party and Prime Minister Nikola Gruevski (2006-2017), a period known for the great decline in media freedoms in the country, Talevska was the right-hand woman of Dragan Pavlovic Latas, the then editor-in-chief of the news program of "Sitel" TV.
Under their leadership, the television became the most watched in the country, but also the strongest media supporter of the government, praising its policies and attacking its critics. This editorial policy was also mirrored in the "Vecer" newspaper and the "Vecer mk" portal, after the Latas - Talevska editorial duo was appointed to run those media. Today, Talevska is no longer active in "Sitel". She was the editor-in-chief of the "Vecer" newspaper from 2012 to 2017 when she parted ways with the newspaper and continued to be the editor of "Vecer.mk". In 2018, she was sentenced to two years of probation for tax evasion.

This role of his came to the forefront especially during the reign of VMRO-DPMNE and Prime Minister Nikola Gruevski (2006-2017) when "Sitel" television and the "Vecer" newspaper fiercely fought with the political dissidents of the government. Latas is not active in the media today after having retired from his editorial position at TV "Sitel". He is the founder and owner of several media and marketing companies, such as "Mediamaks", "Total Media Center", "Maksmedia" and "Medianet". He transferred some of them to his son Jakov.
