The news that Albania ranks last in the region for the media freedom index and 20 places lower than last year may be shocking for some, but not for everyone. How is it possible that our eastern neighbor Macedonia ranks 57th and Albania ranks 107th?! A colleague from Skopje who knows the problems of the media in Albania just as well tells me: 'here, if a mistake is made by the government towards the media, an apology is requested and measures are taken and... here the big media are not the servants of the government' What happened that we are 20 places below?

Horoscope, Tuesday, February 20, 2023/ What the Brazil Telegram Number Data stars have predicted for your sign If for years (2018) the government has been circulating a draft law that was also criticized by the Venice commission and never makes it clear whether it has finally given up or is still in the drawer, then this is not a fact that does not speak well for the freedom of the media . If there are incidents against journalists and no action is ever taken, let alone an apology, this behavior does not lead to an improvement in the ranking. (Meanwhile, I remember an unforgettable scene from January 8, where a cameraman on a TV car was filming the protest at the DP headquarters and the water with pressure from the police was directed at him, did you say it was a target for fun) If he acts with lightning speed to replace the board of the public broadcaster, with candidates in violation of the legal criteria, let alone the political balance, this is certainly reflected and noted.
If the institutions that should be at the service of the public and the media industry return to the service of the government, do not expect to be applauded for this major achievement! If during the year it is noticed that the main television stations fall one by one into the hands of government clients, this naturally has nothing to do with freedom of the press. If you find large pro-government television stations in Albania, but you have a hard time finding large pro-opposition media, this speaks of the freedom of choice that media owners have, but not the freedom of journalists. If you have a very good law on informing the public with official documents, but its implementation is getting worse, in theory you will get maximum marks, while in practice you will get a failing grade.
