Hashtag.Al

https://www.hashtag.al/

Hashtag.al is a digital media outlet founded in 2021 in Tirana, Albania. It entered the media industry to offer the Albanian audience a new investigative journalism platform.

According to CEO Habjon Hasani, the organisation's primary focus is on investigations regarding the misuse of public funds, intelligence, and diplomacy. It also covers other areas such as politics, the economy, organised crime, and corruption. Lastly, the newsroom covers breaking news stories and live events.

Although Hashtag.al covers newsworthy events nationwide, it targets the entire Albanian-speaking audience in the Western Balkans, with a particular emphasis on Kosovo.

In addition to its investigations and reporting, Hashtag.al prioritises its lifestyle and entertainment coverage. It has a large audience on its Instagram page Hashtag.al_, and it considers Facebook one of its most important platforms for content sharing.

The team plans to develop cross-border and collaborative journalism stories as part of its growth.
