The protests in Tirana are taking place in a climate of tension, even towards the media.
Some protesters have had hostile attitudes towards the media and journalists, episodes that have been repeated for several days.
One case was also recorded in "Skënderbej" Square, when the march towards the Prime Minister's Office had not yet begun.
Protesters attacked Top News journalist Kleida Muka during her reporting, pushing her and dousing her with water.
Other journalists who were reporting have also fallen prey to attacks by some protesters.
But one of the protest coordinators, a few days ago, called on the media to come to police station 302 because they were being violated.
So he sought the help of journalists and the media to cover what was happening there.

Therefore, dear protester, journalists have a key role during protests, informing the public in real time about developments on the ground.
They document events, reflect your requests, the reactions of the authorities, and any incidents that may occur, helping citizens create a complete picture of the situation.
The presence of the media at protests is considered an important element for transparency and accountability, as documenting events helps not only the public, but also institutions in shedding light on any incidents that may occur during public gatherings.
We recall that the Albanian Journalists Association has condemned the violence against journalists in the protest, saying that any act of violence or intimidation against them is unacceptable and must be investigated and punished without any exception.
