Instead of news, the News24 screen today only displays vertical strips of test colors, white, yellow, light blue, green, pink, red, dark blue, and black on both sides.

This image that once indicated the absence of a television signal is now a symbol of imposed silence.

Police surrounded News24 in the early hours of the morning and blocked the work of journalists from News24, BalkanWeb, Panorama and Gazeta Shqiptare .

In the absence of information about this unusual event, there are more questions than answers:

Who gave the order to surround the News24 building?

What was the official motive for interrupting the broadcast signal?

Why was no warning given before the intervention?

Have legal procedures been followed for such an action against a media outlet?

What is the evidence or reasons that justify this extreme action?

If it is a contract (lease) issue, has the media been given the necessary time to find other premises?

Who is responsible for obstructing journalists in the workplace?

Has the immediate harm caused to the public by depriving them of information been taken into account?

How are constitutional rights to information and freedom of the press guaranteed when the police prevent journalists from carrying out their duties?

When a media outlet closes, it's not just the media outlet that is lost, your right to be informed is lost. Today it's News24, tomorrow it could be your voice. Silence is not neutrality, it's a choice.
