The truths of reports that Eddie Rama doesn't like

Two international reports within the month, which strongly criticise Eddie Rama's government and its governance, have been criticised by the Prime Minister. The first was the State Department's report on the state of human rights and the fight against corruption, the second annual report of Reporters Without Borders.

In both reports, the panorama of the situation in Albania is not as rosy as the Prime Minister and his media entourage present. But Rama named dash's report as outdated and copy-paste from reports from years past.

According to the Prime Minister, DASH did not present in the report the achievements of the government that he himself had known throughout 2021. As for the report of 'Reporters Without Borders', where Albania is said to have fallen by 20 countries as far as media freedom belongs, ranking at the bottom, Rama calls it 'mockery' and 'untrue'.

But, on the other hand, the truth? The report speaks of media and journalist intimidation, and violence is not the only form of intimidation of journalists, although there have been sporadic reports from journalists of police violence to prevent them from exercising their duties.

Intimidation in financial forms is one that has undermined media freedom in Albania, more than it has through forms of traditional violence. As an example, if an independent journalist criticises the government, governance, the owner of the media who may have a business loses the tender, concession, or the next benefit from the government.

It is the same kind of violence, but more refined that Berisha exerted on the media during his second government. If in the first government, that of the 1990s Berisha set fire to the media, beat journalists and media owners, in the second he smothered them with taxes every day at the door.

Fortunately, no news is burned anymore, but the country's largest television stations are customers of the Government, which indirectly dictates the censorship imposed by business owners who threaten journalists with breadcrumbs.

Third, in recent years there have been several investigative investigations by various journalists, which have highlighted governing corruption. But in no case has the government and the bodies of justice acted. Actions have occurred only when it comes to sporadic events that are publicly available, but which essentially remain isolated phenomena that do not relate to the government, or governance of the country.

Today, with the exception of some portals such as journalistinitiatives, or funded by donations from the European Union, or partner countries, the other media is completely controlled and fed at the same table as the Government, as was the occasion of the iftar dinner. Can anyone show a single critical journalist name with the government at that dinner? The same goes for the opposition.

There really is no physical violence today, no journalists killed. But if we had these cases as well, then we'd have to talk, not just about media freedom, but about the media as a whole in Albania. Because violence against the media is a tool used to shut up by dictators.

However, the victim also has here and here the victim is free speech and freedom of expression. The murder was done in co-operation; On the one hand he who buys the media and on the other hand the media that sells. This is what the Report of Reporters Without Borders also points out.

Then there are the permanent wounds and gangrene of the media in our country. Journalists working without contracts, without insurance. The owner removes you from work with a finger-snapping, part of the media is funded by the world of crime.

All this and the continued rhetoric of the Prime Minister who has often called the media 'kazan' have devalued the truth. Today, it doesn't matter how true it is, how hard you say it. It no longer has any weight in public, unless it is 'true' that emanates from the Government, or its customers.

The government ignores it, justice is silent, the public is perverse and i don't know who to believe before. Conveying truth is the biggest media problem. He's not the only one and guilty in the crime is the media itself. She's at the point of trouble today. Journalists work for their own interests, on the public interest. Some have become millionaires on salary, while those who defend powerful interests have also become billionaires. This is the model of journalism that is being served today to the younger generation...
