Macedonian Media Fighting for its Freedom

Written

Igor Ljubovcevski likely landed his dream job when he became a cameraman for Alsat-M, the newest television station in Macedonia. As part of the news team he would help shape the news seen by thousands of his fellow citizens. The special thing about Alsat-M is that it offers bilingual reporting, in Macedonian and Albanian, which reaches most of the ethnically-divided population of the country. The station provides a unique opportunity to bring a struggling nation closer together, with a level of tolerance and understanding not often associated with Eastern Europe.
