The well known sports journalist Dritan Shakohoxha was the next invited guest by the students of Department of Communication Sciences and members of the Sports Club at "Hëna e Plotë" (Bedër) University. In an open conversation with students, Mr. Shakohoxha initially talked about the first steps in his career and the challenges faced in the profession of journalism.The interest of students for the current state of Albanian football was huge, especially for our national team's destiny.
Dritan Shakohoxha noted the positive steps that have been cast, while did not rule out the possibility of achieving high results by our national team, in the future. "I believe that National Team can achieve good results in the qualifiers for Euro 2016, as we always are mobilized when we play with opponents who on paper are better than us. We have never been defeated with profound results from the big teams, where in many cases the fate has decided too, as in the last games with the Netherland or Portugal," he said.
One of the topics discussed was the use of standard Albanian language in Albanian journalism, particularly in sports events commentary, where Mr. Shakohoxha stressed that this issue is often discussed by sports commentators and linguistics specialists. "Obviously this remains one of the points where we as journalists should try to work hard, also for the impact that we have in society. This is related to the intellectual and literacy level of everyone who works in this field. Albanian language itself is rich enough so as not to use foreign words in match commentaries" he said.
Among numerous gags, also expressing satisfaction, at the conclusion of the talks, students present in the hall took pictures with the journalist Dritan Shakohoxha.
