Blendi Fevziu (born May 18, 1969, Tirana, Albania) is an Albanian journalist, writer and host of the TV talk show Opinion, which first went on air on August 31, 1997.[1]
Fevziu graduated in literature and Albanian language at the University of Tirana in 1991. In 1989 he was part of the staff of the Student newspaper of the University. In December 1990 and February 1991 he was an active participant in the students' movement that brought the change of regime in Albania. On 5 January 1991 he was the co-founder of the Rilindja Demokratike (Democratic Rebirth) newspaper, the first free newspaper after almost 70 years of independent media blackout in Albania.
On August 31, 1997, Fevziu started a political show on TVSH named E Diela Debat, a weekly political debate that airs every sunday. On September 26, 1998, the show was moved to Klan Television and, from 1999, the show aired on Thursdays instead of Sundays.
In 2001, it was renamed "Opinion", and from October 2006 it was broadcast twice a week. Since 2008, "Opinion" has aired four times a week with Mondays to Wednesdays at 22:30 (10:30 PM), and Fridays at 21:00 (9 PM). [2] [3]
