Association of Journalists of Kosovo, United Nations Kosovo Team and AAB College mark UN Day

The discussion on fake news and fact-checking during the pandemic in Kosovo took place with the Mass Communication students of AAB College. The panel was chaired by the President of AJK, Xhemajl Rexha, while the participating panelists were journalists Jehona Zhitia, Bujar Vitija, Arbreshë Uka, Gentiana Hasani and Anđelka Ćup.

The students present were closely acquainted with the difficulties in reporting in pandemic times, as well as the challenges of journalists in combating fake news and misinformation.

UN Day marks the anniversary of the entry into force of the UN Charter in 1945. With the ratification of this document by most of its signatories, including the five permanent members of the Security Council, the United Nations was formally established. October 24 has been celebrated as United Nations Day since 1948.
