The Institutional Role of Journalism in Post-Conflict Societies: The Case of Kosovo
No full textThis study asserts that the traditional professional values underpinning journalism are becoming increasingly ambiguous, while established normative frameworks have diminished in their descriptive influence. Drawing on Hanitzsch’s (2011) typology of journalistic cultures, the research analyzes responses from a structured survey of 46 media professionals. Through the application of the Priority Model, the study explores how these professional role orientations intersect with neo-Gramscian perspectives on hegemony, particularly in shaping journalists’ priorities during the production and dissemination of news. The research investigates the institutional roles of journalistic cultures within Kosovo, with a specific focus on their evolving engagement in broader societal responsibilities in the aftermath of the conflict with Serbia. In these transitional societies, where political and media landscapes are undergoing democratization, journalism operates amid persistent tensions between professional norms and partisan interests. Although traditionally defined by institutionalized practices, normative values, and a distinct professional identity—serving as a buffer against forces such as commercialization—the conceptualization and enactment of journalistic \u27professionalism\u27 among Kosovar Albanian journalists necessitate critical re-evaluation. Grounded in contemporary scholarship, this study redefines professionalism as a dynamic and discursively constructed notion, frequently mobilized in moments of institutional fragmentation and legitimacy decline
Newspapers Printed in Albanian Language in Kosovo and the News On Cultural Events
No full textConsidering the case of Albanian cultural news in Kosovo (Albanians in Kosovo constitute about 97% of the population), this paper discusses the inclusion of cultural news in written journalism. Until 2020, four daily newspapers in the Albanian language were published in Kosovo. As of 2020, no printed newspaper is operating. Therefore, we have considered two printed newspapers: Koha Ditore and Epoka e Re and we have presented culture-related news as a set of practices through which knowledge is obtained and cultural events are perceived. Empirically, we analyzed media coverage of culture in two newspapers published from 2000 to 2020. The newspapers were owned by private individuals and share the same market. From the quantitative analysis of the content, it appears that these two newspapers have also given the right place to news from culture. The way editors present cultural events differ in these two newspapers and each of them claims and justifies their knowledge of cultural events in Kosovo, in the region and in the world. The presentation of cultural news is more influenced by the difference between local and global journalistic perception, mainly through direct versus indirect access
Language of News: Narration and Foreign Language Expressions in Online Media in the Albanian Language in Kosovo
Get PDFThis paper examines the role of news language in shaping news narratives. Despite the majority of online media outlets in the Albanian language in Kosovo being a transition from traditional print newspapers and relatively new in age, they have evolved their narratives. The findings indicate that these outlets do not employ the same language and narrative as they did in their print counterparts. This new language adopted by online media has contributed to the creation of distinct public discourses through the selection of narratives and the language they employ. Just as language is a socially constructed form of communication, news constructed in that language has its own linguistic varieties. Similar to how language continues to change in its content and structure to adapt to the diversity of social and cultural demands, it also influences the evolution of news language. This is particularly evident when comparing articles from the time of print publication to those published online today. The research employs a comparative method, examining the use of standard language as well as foreign expressions. It concludes that during the time when these newspapers were printed, Latin expressions were more commonly used, whereas online media relies on English expressions that replace Albanian ones
