‘’RILINDJA’’ NEWSPAPER (1980-1990)’’

Abstract

Seeing journalism from the historical perspective is able to represent the developments of a country at its best. This comes naturally due to journalism’s duty which is to conduct these developments where it memorizes them and thanks to the technology in disposal, it is always making these accessible for the generations which will live later. But, in the case of ‘’Rilindja’’ newspaper, this role is deeper than this, for the fact that for many ongoing decades ‘’Rilindja’’ was the only body of press in Albanian all over the former Yugoslavia. ‘’Rilindja’’ devotedly took after permanently memorizing different political, social, economical, sportive developments that Albanians of Kosovo and those around have gone through. In the late 90s, the government was overthrown in Kosovo, meanwhile the political circumstances collided aggressively with ‘’Rilindja’’ which was the most important information window in Albanian language.
