what people say
“Transformation will bring radical improvements. The use of digital technologies leads to a better quality of life and reduction of corruption.”
Today's challenges are numerous...how to be a someone who will not take personally every comment on social networks and ...how to learn to deal with it.
“Media literacy creates an environment for control of state institutions and is a necessary ingredient of a healthy democracy. If there are no media-literate citizens, the institutions will be less accountable and transparent.”
“The challenges that North Macedonia is facing are the same that the EU and the countries of the region are facing.”
“We are witnessing a convergence of the border between the virtual and the real. The media is the first vector for informing the citizens, and ..should try to provide real and objective information..”
“Although inclusion is characteristic of countries with more developed information society, it does not mean that in Macedonia we should not discuss and work on that topic..”
