31/12/2014
With this two-minute video, the Balkan Investigative Reporting Network in Albania seeks to raise awareness among the public, media professionals and decision-makers about widespread self-censorship in the media in Albania
The animation, a work of Albanian multimedia artist Gentian Shkurti, is based on a 2015 BIRN’s report “A Blind Eye on News: Self-Censorship in the Albanian Media ”, which highlights the frequency, roots and causes of self-censorship in the Albanian media environment. This is the first survey of this phenomenon in the country and the findings aim to raise awareness of the presence and influence of self-censorship on freedom of expression.
