COUNTERING RELIGIOUS EXTREMISM IN THE MEDIA

Extremism and radicalism, especially in online media, are becoming an increasingly concerning phenomenon in Albania, too. This phenomenon, still in its early infancy, needs to be known, studied, and analyzed. Albanian media is addressing this phenomenon in a superficial manner. The overall objective of the project is to raise public awareness on exstremist and radical discourse in the media. The project includes researching and identifying situation with extremist and radical discourse in the media, and presenting the research findings and recommendations, followed by a two-day professional workshop on topics related to extremist discourse, religious hate speech, etc.
