Gazeta Shneta

Gazeta Shneta was founded in 2017. It is one of the few digital media outlets that publish information exclusively about the health industry in the Albanian language. It publishes news, investigations, and analysis of health and welfare topics. Its articles include reporting on healthcare problems and corruption issues locally and nationwide.

It is a platform where citizens can find not only information, but also professional health advice. Health tips are distributed through its social media channels. In addition to its main Facebook page, Gazeta Shneta, it has three other pages: Këshilla për Shtatëzënat, Bota e Bebeve, and Statezania dhe Bebet.

On all four Facebook pages managed by Gazeta Shneta, including Gazeta Shneta, Këshilla për Shtatëzënat, Bota e Bebeve, and Statezania dhe Bebet, there are approximately 400,000 followers.

Gazeta Shneta expanded its audience in March 2020 when the Kosovo authorities reported the first cases of COVID-19. In the following months of the COVID-19 outbreak, Gazeta Shneta became the primary source of information for many isolated citizens because it was the only media outlet in Kosovo specialising in health sector reporting.

The information published by Gazeta Shneta reduced panic and helped increase citizens' awareness regarding the protective measures against COVID-19.
