About the Author
Introducing
Shefqet Meko
Shefqet Meko, an accomplished Albanian-American author, has dedicated his life to storytelling, journalism, and bridging cultures. Born in 1959 in the picturesque town of Pogradec, Albania, Meko demonstrated a passion for writing early in life. As a student, he became editor-in-chief of “The Student of Agriculture ” newspaper, a role that foreshadowed his future in media and communication.
In 1983, Meko graduated from the Higher Institute of Agriculture as a veterinarian, yet his passion for journalism remained strong. He furthered his studies with a master’s degree in Journalism and Communication from the University of Tirana in 1985.
Following the collapse of communism in Albania, Meko emerged as a prominent journalist and civic activist. He contributed significantly to Radio-Tirana, Albania’s national radio station, and played a pioneering role in agricultural journalism as the first President of the Albanian Agricultural Journalist Association (AAJA). He also founded the Research Center for Rural Development (RCRD), championing rural progress in Albania.
