4 hours agoThe renowned journalist: AGK a servile and non-recensible organisation for journalists
Periskopi(7 years ago)
(7 years ago)Part of Kosovo journalists are gathered within a strange association that sometimes shares prices and sometimes, with whims, deals with the condemnation of attacks on members of this community. Finally, the editor of the Arbresh portal.info has attacked this association for servilism and open non-recitability. Finally, this association has [...]
Finally, this association has selected the three best stories competing in the “competition for best anti-corruption journalism”.
But the very way the winner's selection is going to look a bit problematic, writes Periscope.
The association in the third phase has reportedly made the opening of the public vote for the winner. Anyone who has a Facebook account can access the site destined for this purpose and without any knowledge of the articles in question, vote among the three names that are placed on the three articles they have published. Who needs reading, after all?
This time, selected for this third phase were two KOHA journalists and a Kalxo.com journalist, multi-million media groups.
This has led journalists to demand people's vote for their stories as if they were politicians. But what are the stories? The word “store” is not in the Albanian language dictionary. Moreover, it is “store” not “store”.
However, there was also the complaint about selection in the first two stages. Chief editor of Arbresh portal.info, Elvine Sefiu, wrote in her Facebook account the following response:
The Kosovo Journalists' Association has selected three names for voting to which to list “Price for best anti-corruption journalism 2019”. Part of the names is not Arbresh reporter.info, Agnes E. Citaku, who professionally, without any political influence, and with extraordinary courage has been the first to report political employment to Kosovo Telekom, and then a whole record of misuse at Telekom. The continuation of the policy to hold only certain media titles makes AGK a servile and not creditable organisation to reward real journalism and journalists. ”
If there is soon to be a creditable association that protects all journalists indiscriminately and does not favour multi-million-dollar media at the expense of smaller media, it remains to be seen!
