Newsworthiness for Television and Digital Journalism in Kosovo

Abstract

Today’s public has mostly moved online, but the media has also moved there to reach this audience. News organizations as well. Therefore, the aim of this paper is to explore what television journalists and digital journalists in Kosovo consider news. Using semi-structured interviews with 18 television journalists and internet journalists, the paper explains the news values that journalists in Kosovo now consider. The study concludes that, while digital media journalists believe they are providing the public with more clickable or desirable news, television journalists continue to provide the public with what they believe to be essential subjects about which the public should be educated.
