Ana Vasilevska, journalist, talks about the damages inflicted on the media and the freedom of expression, about fitting and unfitting media and journalists, and about the attitude of the authorities.
“I think that huge damage has been inflicted on the media, for which a long time will be needed to change that context of fitting or unfitting identities of the journalist who worked there. Not taking into consideration the moment that these journalists, my colleagues, who have had to work under pressure, usually having to write news and stories that have perhaps been contrary to their ethical position, in order to earn their salaries, is yet another problem that we will leave aside”, says Vasilevska.
