Abstract:
This collection of studies explores key aspects of media, communication, and organizational dynamics, with a focus on Kosovo and the Balkans. The research highlights the role of communication strategies in fostering employee motivation, the integration of information technology in academic libraries, and the importance of media in shaping cultural identity. Several studies examine the role of television in national communication, both in terms of promoting cultural exchange and as a platform for political discourse. Gender representation in advertising is also critically analyzed, particularly through the lens of beer advertisements in Kosovo. Additionally, the studies assess the challenges facing media independence in Kosovo and how the diaspora plays a significant role in shaping the country's international image. Overall, these studies contribute to a broader understanding of how media and communication practices influence societal norms, political engagement, and cultural development.
