The paper’s Brussels-based columnist and correspondent, Augustin Palokaj, writes that politicians today, in order to avoid media contact, are increasingly using social networks to communicate with the public. The politicians view the journalists as a category that bores them and find it much easier to sit down and write whatever they want on Facebook or Twitter, adds Palokaj. This phenomenon is also being rigorously applied by Kosovo leaders, in particular. Hashim Thaci and Isa Mustafa. The politicians should realize that their readiness to respond to journalists’ questions is not only a sign of good will but is also an obligation, says Palokaj. In the last six months, Thaci and Mustafa used Facebook as the main communication tool while the Kosovo media, instead of protesting over this, were happy to report on their posts. “There were never so many Albanian news websites but one gets the impression that there was never so little journalism”, writes Palokaj adding that it is no wonder that the European Commission has requested Kosovo to legally regulate its online media. Politicians, notes Palokaj, should adopt a proactive approach towards the media by demonstrating cooperation and not by attempting to dictate their editorial policies.
