The panel reflections followed the presentation of the Albanian Helsinki Committee reports: the National Barometer on Media Freedom in Albania for 2020 as well as the Study Report on the work rights of journalists.
This roundtable took place within the framework of the initiative “Strengthening media integrity standards in Albania”, financially supported by the British Embassy Tirana and the East-West Management Institute and implemented by the Albanian Helsinki Committee.
