 About 1813, in conjunction with a fellow student, Dimitrije Frušić, he founded and edited a Serbian newspaper in Vienna called "Novine serbske iz carstvujuščeg grada Viene" (Serbian news from the Imperial City of Vienna), and "Zabavnik" (Entertainment), in which many interesting particulars respecting the literature and political history of Serbia was published.Like Stefan von Novaković, his predecessor, Davidović believed that any people who would like to be recognized as enlightened must have its national newspapers and magazines, which are essentially important for the four million Serbs living under the Habsburg yoke at the time.His "Novine serbske iz carstvajuscega grada Viene" (Serbian news from the Imperial City of Vienna)soon changed its direction from translations of travelogues, biographies, and writings on history to national issues (current events) and Serbian literature.
