TetovaSot
Under the motto "fast and different", the "TetovaSot" online medium, managed today by Rami Mislimi, began its work in 2013. An investigative story revealed that "TetovaSot" is the main outlet in the informal media group of a total of four news websites that were used for political propaganda. In addition to "TetovaSot" (tetovasot.com), the group also included bild.mk, indeks.mk and ts.mk.
At the time when this database was prepared, bild.mk was non-functional.
"TetovaSot" and the other media from this group were and are inclined towards the ethnically Albanian ruling party DUI, while being especially critical of the opposition in the Albanian political bloc.
The online medium "TetovaSot" has been publishing content in Albanian for a whole decade, and therefore apart from North Macedonia, the portal is also read in Kosovo and Albania.
