This research aims to create a better understanding of media self-regulatory mechanisms in Albanian media landscape.
Media self-regulation in Albania has been a long and challenging process through the years, and the effectiveness of self-regulation initiatives has not always been satisfactory. While there have been some positive examples and there are still ongoing attempts to develop self-regulation and reflection on professional standards in the media, to this day there is no specific example or mechanism that could be regarded as a success story and serve as a reference for self-regulation.
