"Media Council appendix of Samir Manes", KShM reacts on the article published in SOT Newspaper with the title
In an article published online in the newspaper SOT, several accusations are made against the Media Council.
KShM wants to clarify to the public that the accusations are not based on facts, the article misinforms and misinforms, and in essence constitutes a direct attack by a media against the self-regulatory process.
The article in question was produced after a decision of the Ethics Board of the Albanian Media Council and the Alliance for Ethical Media, regarding a complaint received against Sot.com.al media. By unanimous decision of the Board, the article of Sot.com.al, object of complaint, was found to be in violation of the Code of Ethics, namely Article 1. The argumentation of the violations of ethics in the article is as follows:
The article contains unverified and factual information.
The article is unbalanced as the opinion of the affected party is not given. It is not noted in the article that the affected party was asked and his opinion was reflected in the article.
Not only an ethics expert, but also a journalism student can verify the above violations and evaluate the Board's decision. For the Sot.com.al media, the standard work methodology was used in case of complaints. The media was contacted in advance, to familiarize themselves with the complaint and claim of the complainant and to offer their position. After the media did not accept the complaint, according to the procedure, the complaint went to the Ethics Board, where the decision was made. Our Ethics Board does not function as a court, and its decisions about non-member media are suggestions. The decision of the board for the sot.com.al article that is the object of the appeal, expressly states: "it is suggested to the sot.com.al media to delete the article".
KSHM has not threatened Sot.com.al with lawsuits. This is misinformation. Below, the facsimile of the complete communication with the media, where, on the contrary, it is the media sot.com.al which threatens KShM with a lawsuit at the prosecutor's office.
The accusation of Sot.com.al media that "the oligarch has tried to put pressure on the newspaper with an organization otherwise called the Media Council" and "The introduction by Samir Mane of an anonymous organization that has the seal of an association to put pressure on the newspaper "TODAY" is pure slander. The executive staff of KShM has no contact, neither personal nor of any other form, with Mr. Mane. The complaint was submitted electronically by Mr. Agim Fjolla, who appeared in the position of "Director of Communication" of Balfin Group. In addition to emails related to the complaint, with Mr. Agim Fjolla, the KShM staff has had no other contact, of any form, and no prior acquaintance. As explained by email to Sot.com.al media, we do not prejudice anyone, and we take into account any complaint that meets the criteria according to the regulation of the Ethics Board.
Në të kundërt të asaj çfarë pretendon sot.com.al, KShM dhe Kryetari i saj, Koloreto Cukali, janë shprehur në mënyrë konseguente kundër kapjes së medias nga oligarkët. Këto deklarata gjenden lehtësisht online. Por pavarësisht qendrimit tonë për një media të lirë e të pakapur, kjo nuk do të thotë që komuniteti i gazetarëve, mediat dhe organizatat e mediave duhet të mbyllin sytë para shkeljeve etike. Lufta për të mbrojtur interesin publik nuk mundet e nuk duhet të justifikojë artikuj jo-etikë. Vetërregullimi është pikërisht kjo: gazetari etike pa ndërhyrjen e shtetit, por të komunitetit.
Në lidhje me akuzën e medias Sot.com.al që “Këshilli Medias, e cila merr fonde nga taksapagues evropianë” duhet të sqarojmë 2 gjëra:
Në momentin e botimit të këtij shkrimi, KSHM nuk ka asnjë financim, as nga jashtë as nga brenda, dhe stafi i vet punon po pa pagesë. Kjo nuk na ka penguar të vazhdojmë të mbajmë funksional mekanizmin e ankesave e të vetërregullimit e as të luftojmë për lirinë e medias.
Në faqen tonë, ne ekspozojmë logot e partnerëve që na kanë mbështetur në 5 vitet e fundit. Ne jemi krenarë për partneritetin me BE, UNESCO, dhe organizata të tjera ndërkombëtare. Të mbështetesh nga BE, nuk është as turp e as krim. Madje, është e vetmja mënyrë për të ruajtur pavarësinë tonë.
Akuza që “Fondet që ky Këshill i Medias i merr nga evropianët nuk i shpenzon për të krijuar një terren sa më të sigurt për gazetarët, të ngrejë zërin për kushtet dhe presionet në punë, por vendoset në shërbim të interesave të Samir Manes” është një shpifje e pastër. KShM, ka qenë në ballë të luftës kundër paketës anti-shpifje. Kshm dhe Kryetari i saj, Koloreto Cukali janë shprehur e shprehen publikisht por dhe në takime të vazhdueshme me aktorët ndërkombëtarë në mbrojtje të lirisë së medias e të gazetarëve dhe kundër kapjes së mediave nga koorporatat, oligarkët dhe politikanët e pasur. Për këtë mjafton të bësh një search të thjeshtë në Google. Por, media Sot.com.al ngatërron mbrojtjen e lirisë së informimit dhe të gazetarëve me gazetarinë jo etike. Liri e medias nuk do të thotë papërgjegjshmëri, gazetari etike dhe shpifje. Vetërregullimi është procesi që i detyron mediat të ruajnë etikën e profesionalizmit, jo përmes ndërhyrjes së shtetit,por përmes mekanizmave të vendosur nga komuniteti i gazetarëve dhe i medieve. Bordi ynë i Etikës është një bord i zgjedhur nga Asambleja e përvitshme e Aleancës për Media Etike, e përbërë nga 38 media (në momentin që po shkruhet ky reagim). Pra, Bordi jonë i Etikës jo vetëm është i përbërë nga njerëz me integritet, profesionalë e të respektuar, por është i VOTUAR nga një organizatë me 38 media. (Media sot.com.al nuk ka pranuar të jetë pjesë e AME.) Kjo quhet “Vetërregullim”, dhe është alternativa e vetme ndaj rregullimit prej shtetit. KSHM mbron do të mbrojë çdo media e çdo gazetar, përfshirë dhe sot.com.al nga çdo cënim i lirisë, por nuk do të përkrahë e as mbrojë artikuj joprofesionalë dhe joetikë.
Regarding Sot.com.al's attempt to call KSHM "an anonymous organization", we must say that KSHM is a proud member of AIPCE - the Alliance of Independent Press Councils in Europe, and the only known self-regulation organization in Albania from international organizations and the EU. A visit to our website and that of the Alliance for Ethical Media, would enable Sot.com.al media to be informed that our Ethics Board has the support of 38 media, members of the Alliance for Ethical Media, that KSHM operates.
The mention of Mr. The slip in writing is at the very least an act of unprofessionalism, not to mention an attempt to deliberately misinform. Mr. Shkullaku is simply one of the 36 founders of KShM, and is not at all engaged in the daily work of KShM. Lapsi.al, co-directed by Mr. Shkullaku is only one of the 38 member media of AME, which elects the Board of Ethics. A visit to our website would have enabled Sot.com.al media to learn that decisions on complaints are made by a Board of 5 members, where Mr. Shuklaku does not belong. As for the accusation about KSHM "behind which hide journalists with villas near Samir Manes, former MPs and salarymen near Edi Rama's institutions", it is simply absurd, and the labyrinth of the article writer's fantasies is unclear.
Overall, the anonymous article on sot.com.al aims to discretize the process of self-regulation. This is precisely in line with the Albanian government, which has been trying for a long time to claim that self-regulation does not exist or does not work in Albania, and which continues its efforts to introduce regulatory mechanisms in the online media market, where ethics should not be decided by the Ethics Board. of AME, chosen by 38 media, but anonymous people in state offices.
