On this date, six years ago, passed away the founder of Top Media, Dritan Hoxha, the person who not only revolutionized the media market in Albania, but changed the social context in the Albanian market and even wider, in the entire region.

The Head of the Jury, Mentor Kikia, explains more about the competition.

“It was really difficult to chose, because you had to read, listen and watch all materials so that you can be really righteous with the competitorsr. There is no proper award in the Albanian journalism to show the journalists values, and the Dritan Hoxha Foundation is the only award that stimulates the youth and those who love this country. We base our potential on the youth, because Dritan Hoxha based his trust on the youth to establish this media. Dritan didn’t simply create a media, but a school of journalism, a social school”, Kikia declared.
