We had a really inspiring visit to Kosovo 2.0 with the Editor in Chief Besa Luci. Besa told us about the short history of this young journalism website and magazine. Her group of 6 writers and editors along with freelance journalists are trying to tell the Kosovo story and the regional story on their own terms, in a different way. The group has produced beautiful and innovative long form journalism on the web and in themed magazines that touch on such polemic issues as “Sex” and “Corruption” in the Balkans. The issues and online pieces correspond to community events to engage people around the topics they are reporting on. RIT student Lauren Peace contributed a compelling editorial to Kosovo 2.0 about the recent bombings in the airport in Istanbul. I think we were all really engaged and impressed with the courageous and creative work that Kosovo 2.0 is doing.
