– The system is built that way, two or three ethnic communities do not mix much and do not know each other, and the stereotypes that appear on social networks only confirm that. Those journalists who come from that environment, will work in that media that is monoethnic. They will continue to affirm what they believe in. There is no tolerance and no understanding due to the fact that they do not know the language and do not know each other, says the editor of Portalb on the panel “Multiculturalism and European values in the media.
We have a problem that there is no English translation. Not that they hate or oppose them, but they do not even think about it. This is a bad example I can point to. This non-recognition and ignorance leads us to have only one-sided news or news that is not extensive and has no interest for everyone. The public interest is public because we live in a multiethnic state. There must be constant news and information to inform the other community that we are facing the same problems. There are criminals and good people in this world and in the next. When we created the portal, we built a bridge between the two largest communities in Macedonia. So that we can translate and say what is happening in the Macedonian public, Turkish, Albanian, all communities. For example, if there is a problem in the municipality of Struga, it must be reported in all languages so that everyone can be informed, and the problem should not be ignored by anyone. Through that approach, everyone feels part of injustice, justice or part of that system. The emergence of online media has only highlighted that gap.
