The purpose of this qualitative study is to analyze the dominant propaganda strategies that were reflected in an hour-long program of Radio Martì, a broadcast produced on behalf of Voice of America in the United States and aired to Cuba. Through propaganda techniques, a content analysis was used to determine which strategies were present in the commentator's coverage of the program, El Dia de la Prensa Libre on May 3rd, 2012. This study uncovered propaganda strategies, including testimonials, flag-waving, glittering generalities, appeal to prejudice, image manipulation, over-simplicity, assertion, and third party technique, that were utilized in an effort to present nuanced perspectives on the broadcasts transmitted on Radio Martì. The use of these strategies demonstrates that the program continues to use propaganda when broadcasting to Cuba after the conflict of interest incident with the United States and Radio Martì in 2006. Beyond the analysis of this broadcast, the results of this study cannot be generalized, but they can be viewed as an exemplar of the broadcast's stance on propaganda messages to Cuba on behalf of American journalists.

In recent years, the way Albanians consume news has changed radically. They have abandoned traditional media, and instead, a large majority now rely on television, social media, and online media as their primary source of information. The journalists I have interviewed say that the change has led to a deterioration in journalistic quality. According to them, consumers are no longer interested in the underlying causes; instead, most want journalism to be mixed with entertainment.   In 2022, wealthy businessmen continued to buy media outlets, which, i.a. Reporters Without Borders consider worrisome. Today, freedom of the press suffers from the fact that the owners of the media outlets can, to a large extent, control the reporting, which benefits their other businesses on the side. The country is also corrupt, enabling close ties between media owners, politicians, and organized crime. In Albania, during the spring, the population expressed dissatisfaction with the low wages and high petrol prices, which in May 2022 was one of the highest in the world.   The results I have reached show that freedom of the press in Albania is not doing well, and several of the journalists I interviewed admit that they have at some point censored their reporting out of fear of consequences.
