Gashi Caloxos: Unauthored opinions are just of editing who demanded that his name not be published?

In a response published on social networks, Gashi stresses that signing the author in an opinion is not a technical detail, but one of the basic principles of journalism, as it guarantees responsibility and transparency for what is published.

According to him, the unauthored opinions are only those representing the attitude of editorialism, while any other opinion should be published by name and surname, so that the author can take responsibility for what he writes and the public knows who is trying to convince him.

Gashi stresses that in this case it was not about a comment on sport, culture or gastronomia, but about an analysis of Kosovo relations. The US and the strategic orientation of Kosovo. According to him, on such topics the standard of transparency should be maximum.

According to Gashi, this does not match the tradition of journalism in Western democracies, where transparency over authorship is the rule, especially when dealing with issues related to politics, national security and international relations.

In his reaction, he requires the CALLXO to explain who demanded that the author's identity not be published, on what editorial and ethical basis was accepted, and what was the concrete danger that could not sign the text by name.

Gashi also raises questions about the author's institutional status, asking to know whether he is a citizen of Kosovo or another state, whether he is part of Kosovo institutions or whether he represents any foreign government, international organisation or security structure. He stresses that he does not require the publication of personal copyright data, but argues that when a media makes such an exception to professional standards, it is obliged to explain to the public the reasons for this decision.
