Kosova: “Fake news” në demokracinë e brishtë
Kosovo: fake news in struggling democracy

Summary/Abstract: The aim of this study is to describe the state of online journalism in Kosovo. It attempts to show how political interests and financial profit- seeking have caused chaos in the media on Kosovo, and have turned online journalism into a sham. The economics of click bait and the profits arising from it, the political control of the media, the low economic level, unemployment, and the political crisis all mean that most news served up by the portals attaches no importance to the truth, but only to sensation, and indeed consists of lies. The article provides an overview of the development of online journalism, which, under the tight control of the Kosovo political parties, has failed to perform its mission of presenting the truth.
