On World Press Freedom Day 2025, Albania finds itself in an ambivalent position: ranked 80th in the latestReporters Without Borders World Press Freedom Index, marking an apparent climb of 19 places from the previous year. At first glance, this advancement might seem like genuine progress; indeed, certain measures taken to protect journalists and the recent Constitutional Court ruling reaffirming journalists’ rights to protect sources have created positive momentum. However, beneath this surface of optimism, the reality remains bleak. Albania’s improved ranking is largely due to a relative decline in press freedom elsewhere rather than meaningful improvements at home. Much like Sisyphus pushing his boulder uphill only to watch it roll back down, Albania’s apparent progress masks deep-rooted and persistent systemic issues.
