The Journalists' Association of Albania has expressed concern that during citizen protests, banners and messages targeting media outlets and journalists have appeared.

In a response, the Journalists' Association, while emphasizing that criticism of the editorial line or manner of reporting is a legitimate right, according to them, this should not turn into collective stigmatization of the media, or the creation of a hostile climate towards them.

According to the Journalists' Association, verbal attacks, intimidation or calls aimed at delegitimizing the media as an institution harm the public's right to be informed.

The Journalists' Association underlines that freedom of protest and freedom of the media are not in conflict with each other.

Reaction of the Journalists Association of Albania:

The Journalists' Association of Albania is closely following the developments of the civic protests being held in Tirana and fully respects the constitutional right of citizens to protest and express their dissatisfaction with institutions, the government or other public and political actors.

However, we are concerned by the display of banners and messages that target the media, journalists, or media workers.

Criticism of editorial lines or reporting methods is a legitimate right in a democratic society, but it should not turn into collective stigmatization of the media or the creation of a hostile climate towards them.

Journalists are not adversaries of citizens. They have a professional obligation to report on developments, including protests, regardless of any criticism they may have of the way the media operates in Albania.

Verbal attacks, intimidation, or calls aimed at delegitimizing the media as an institution harm the public's right to be informed.

Freedom of protest and freedom of the media are not in conflict with each other. They are two fundamental pillars of a democratic society and must be protected equally.
