TIRANA, January 11 – The President of the Republic, Bajram Begaj, organized a New Year’s reception to journalists and media representatives in the country on Wednesday, as he delivered his speech where he declared that the media can find a careful listener and ready support at the President’s institution. Media professionals should have the treatment, recognition and assurances they deserve.
In the meantime, Begaj expressed concern that the media space is not at the level that Albanian society requires, since according to him, the media often turn into a political battleground where everything is possible, from fake news to vocabulary without any quality filter.
“Criticism and innovations brought by the media and social networks can be guides for society towards its achievements. But, it is sad when this opportunity is used to spread the mud of the small ambitions of anyone who has open accounts, with personal history, or with the history or justice of this country,” said Begaj.
“My message today, for you at the beginning of the year, is: Be an inspiration, a quality reference for young people who engage with media news, and achieve the power of the role that belongs to you!” said the president. /Argumentum.al
