Session leader: Sokol Bregu. Objective of the day: Freedom vs. Media Impartiality (or bias); the discipline and perspective of the journalist. Spending 15 weeks together and under the exposure of some of the influential figures in the field of journalism and civic activism, the Class I students of Storytelling & Multimedia at the HANA Center have gained basic knowledge and skills to face the discussion of censorship, freedom and impartiality. media in Albania. Also part of the discussion was the phenomenon of public misinformation (False information and intentionally created to harm) especially related to the current pandemic; a local, regional and global problem. Young trainees have come up with their own products; articles awaiting publication and a session during the day was devoted to the analysis of one of them. A platform dedicated to reporting and writing by young people prepared by the HANA Center will soon be set up as a product of the course. Saying of the day: Often times, the problem is not a lack of freedom of expression rather than a one-sided attitude about issues of public interest by the media in Albania.
