Directing the news in online media
Session
Journalism, Media and Communication
Description
In times of crisis, the media wants to have news related to the crisis and the phenomena that have caused it. The approach to the news on this topic clearly reveals the affiliation / bias of the media by a certain state leadership or interest group. The Covid-19 pandemic clearly exposed this phenomenon in Kosovo: directing the news, but also creating the news at all costs - even when there is no news. Even violating the rules of professional reporting. At risk of slipping into the realm of fake news. The phenomenon of creating news at any cost, except that there can be public interest in it, is widespread in reporting, mainly in the news of the black chronicle.
