KiE's mission: Media freedom in Albania has deteriorated

One of the main threats to the media in Albania is their ownership by a handful of powerful people with vested interests in power and decision-making.

This conclusion was reached by a group of experts from the Council of Europe who visited Albania on a two-day fact-gathering mission.

One of the main concerns is media capture by powerful businessmen who use their platforms to curry favor for their other businesses.

"These media owners, many of whom have cross-ownership in major state-regulated industries dependent on public tenders, systematically use their media assets to serve their own private or political agendas rather than self-interest. public'', the statement says.

This situation, according to KiE, has caused a chronic self-censorship and a lack of qualitative investigative and independent reporting by journalists.

The report states that Albania continues to experience a deterioration in media freedom. While the legal framework generally remains adequate, no progress has been made in recent years in improving the environment for independent and watchdog journalism or media pluralism.

Among the few positive evaluations of the experts is the withdrawal of the government from the anti-defamation package.
