Multi-Ethnic Dialogue Helps Bridge Divided Kosovo Media
USAID's Kosovo Media Assistance Program (KMAP) recently conducted the first of its multi-ethnic dialogue sessions for media professionals to support expanded collaboration. Despite political differences, participating editors and journalists from Albanian, Serbian, Bosnian and Roma outlets, agreed that cooperation among colleagues of different ethnic backgrounds is essential to the preservation of integrity in the media. Journalists cited cases when they had shared stories, information, and quotes of people they interviewed.
"Journalists have a mission to fulfill: to provide correct, objective and professionally produced information. To do that, they must cooperate," said Sebiha Ramaxhiku from Radio Dukagjini. "The media [is] a strong weapon and in order to be successful there must be cooperation in the way reality is presented in each part of Kosovo, from each community."
