Journalism in Kosovo

In Kosovo, founded in 2008 and the youngest state in Europe, there are 19 television channels and 85 radio stations for approximately 1.8 million inhabitants, but no daily newspaper published in print. The particular importance of online and social media may be due to the low average age of the population at 30.4 years (compared to 43.1 in Austria).

In the current episode of the media magazine "Continent", Golli Marboe talks about this with Jeta Xharra, the senior journalist of the renowned "Balkan Investigative Reporting Network" BIRN, with Remzie Shahini-Hoxhaj, the director of the Institute for Media at the University of Prishtina and with Kaltrina Durmishi.
