The reporter's departure from RTK, Calcol: Who will be left to read the news, perhaps the very ones who write propaganda texts

KDI's Eugen Cakoli has reacted to RTK's failure to proceed with the contract for journalist Edina Avdiu, saying that “a public broadcaster that constantly punishes professionalism, clears critical voices, and on the other hand rewards Servilism, stops being a public medium”.

In his reaction, Calcolly says; “at this rate, the real question is not who is leaving RTK. The dilemma is who's left to read the news at the end. Perhaps they will read for themselves those who write the propaganda texts”.
His full response:
This is no longer just one case of lawlessness, servileity, censorship in the public broadcaster that we're only used to it. This is already inhuman.
The removal of a pregnant journalist, without any professional reasoning, and after all the pressures she has documented herself, is no incident. It's a warning to every journalist that keeping the microphone “at” and respecting journalistic ethics costs, even at work.
Edita Avdiu and journalists like her will find their way. Good reporters always find it. The problem is not their destiny at all. The problem is that this act is sealing RTK's fate.
A public broadcaster who constantly punishes professionalism cleans up critical voices, and on the other hand rewards servilism, stops being a public medium.
At this rate, the real question is not who's leaving RTK. The dilemma is who's left to read the news at the end. They may be left to read the propaganda texts on their own.
