Analyst Andi Bushati has commented on the state of the media in Albania, starting from the last case widely and sensationally treated by the media, the murder of Liridona Ademaj.
In an interview for "The Unexposed", Bushati said that the media in Albania are controlled by five families, which use them for their financial interests and since they are unable to criticize and investigate the government, they "explode" in such cases. , like the murder of Liridona Ademaj, abusing and reporting conspiracy theories and unnecessary facts.
"First, you say that the media that I run, referring to Lapsi.al, has not treated it in a speculative manner. I have had the opposite as a critic, enough that you drove us crazy with this murder of Kosovo. Every media should not to do, but it suits its own reader.Here I could find an excuse for all colleagues.
But if we go to the heart of the problem, it is not to blame the media for this. Does our media abuse a billionaire and powerful man? Does he go so deep into the private life of a high official? What does this show? That we have irresponsible media? Or that it has degraded from control and vents the duff where they are not controlled? The problem is that we have controlled media, not to talk about the real problems of society. When you put a lid on a pressure cooker, it's going to explode somewhere. This is a side episode, showing how the media languish.
We have a media landscape run by 5 families, Aleksandër Frangaj, Vjollca Hoxha, Irfan Hysenbelliu, etc. Their interest does not allow journalists to be irresponsible with the authorities, people who advertise, etc. Therefore, irresponsibility erupts only in side episodes. If we want to talk about the cancer that has affected our media, this is a very side episode.
I agree, that here we have a spectacularization of information with certain goals. But the specific case we are talking about belongs to another phenomenon known as the appeal of lower instincts, for popularity, attention, clicks, etc. It is known in all theories of journalism, the famous triangle "sex, blood and money". So the audience has developed receptors for these.
Where is our evil in relation to the Western media, which has this line of abuse? If you log on to Netflix, it's the last film series for the UK. It's the Diana episode, what the media and the pink press did to Princess Diana. Everywhere there are media that abuse these baser instincts. But the British media abused Diana. Here they abuse the weak, the weak.
The media in Italy turned Prime Minister Meloni's roommate into a big issue. It could be debated how rosy it got, but they dealt with the Prime Minister's husband.
We are saying that we are re-killing Liridona. This is the big problem, the media are castrated as a result of the power of the owners and the political power, they don't have the courage, even when they abuse, to deal with what the public would be interested in, but they make victims of the weak ," said Bushati.
