Friends or subordinates of Fatos Baxhak?

I don't believe that there is any journalist of my generation who has not known, talked closely and cooperated even for a short time and with episodes of Fatos Baxhak. I enter those I have known a little. We worked very little in the editorial office and I believe very few know that Fatos Baxhaku worked only two days as deputy editor-in-chief of the newspaper "Koha Jonë" sometime in 1998 when I was also working. But even if you didn't know him and worked closely, Fatos Baxhaku created that journalistic profile by turning into an XXL model in terms of professional quality, honesty and uncompromising work with power. I believe his masterpiece in his media career was directing "Gazeta Shqiptare". At that time, the story that was repeated almost every evening in the headline "Democracy" became a legend. While handing over the copies of the new issues, the editor-in-chief of "Koha Jonë",
This was the moment when we journalists were evaluated or not, quoted or not, by the good or bad words of Shkullak and Baxhak. The next day, in the editorial meetings of "Koha Jonë" the name of Fatos Baxhak as the boss of the competing newspaper was mentioned more than that of our boss who demanded an account of why he had missed x news. Baxhak was present at our meetings even without being present. Even without being part of the staff of "Koha Jonë" at all.
As today, three years ago, Fatos Baxhak passed away. It was truly a day of mourning for the Albanian media. What struck me from the many vocal and written responses was that everyone, without exception, called him a friend. In fact, that's how Baxhak treated everyone, colleagues, counterparts, subordinates, acquaintances but also strangers. However, none of them wrote that Fatos Baxhak had taught them the A's of journalism. He had taken them to work, turned on their computers, taught them how to always carry a pad and a pen with them. He had taught them how to get a news. How to create resources and how to be faithful and correct with them. He had taught them how to write well and beautifully.
How to write without mistakes and with thought. He had taught them the discipline of the newsroom, how to behave, especially with subordinates. He even taught someone how to dress and especially how to maintain hygiene. Baxhak was truly a friend. But the irony is that very few returned Baxhak this in gratitude. And gratitude would be for some of his old students to become Fatos Baxhak. They approached him, became friends, had a drink with him, stole his style, his profession and on the day he died they said "we lost a friend". But, these "friends", two qualities they could not get: Honesty and simplicity. They cannot be stolen. Eternal memory of you, professor of journalists Fatos Bazhaku! Of those who knew you closely and those who did not know you, but had you as a role model.
