The Journalistic I when reporters became target of political hostilities: the case of 2023 protests in Northern part of Kosovo
Session
Journalism, Media and Communication
Description
In May and June of 2023, journalists from the Albanian community, were subject of assaults, by the groups of Serbian protesters in Northern part of Kosovo. This study elaborates the impact of hostilities toward journalists, on their reporting and emphasis of Journalistic I. Two qualitative methods: interviews and critical discourse analyses, serve to evaluate and interpret the impact of hostilities on objectivity, impartiality, interpretive journalism and byline subjectivity. The study concludes that in practice, there is a blur line between concepts in complex political situations. The Journalistic I can offer better understanding of the events, but in the same time, can attract the attention from reported events.
