Abilekaj: Politics and advertisers, the two challenges of Albanian journalism

Political pressure and that of advertisers are two of main challenges for Albanian journalists. Mr. Enton Abilekaj, Information Director at News 24 TV,  gave his speech to the students of the Department of Communication Sciences.
 
Mr Alibekaj, who was invited to the cycle of seminars named "Student and Profession" discussed about the conditions under which Albanian televisions operate, as well as the pressures exerted by different factors for the transmission of information. According to him, politics and advertisers are those who exert greater pressure on information as a media product.
 
He replied to the questions of students about the concealment  of truth in circumstances where the virtual dominates, that "In these conditions, concealment of truth is impossible. Even if the editor, information director or media owner does not want the publication of certain information, hiding it is impossible. Journalist himself through his personal blog or opportunities that virtuality provides can make it public, and that in a very short time spreads in everywhere’’.
