SEXISM is alive and well in Albania as this television news presenter proved by managing to land a job after doing a screen test with such a low-cut top, her blouse was completely undone.
And TV chiefs in Albania
were so impressed by the screen test of 21-year-old Enki Bracaj from the
capital Tirana, that they gave her a job.
And she
now reads the news to a booming audience on local TV channel Zjarr, where most
of the attention from viewers is focused on her almost open top.
A
spokesperson for the TV channel said: "Most agree that her presentation style
is somewhat awkward, but we are working on that and to be honest it doesn't
seem to be doing any harm to her viewing figures."
“It is not easy to enter the
world of television. So it was obvious that if I wanted to make it I had to be
brave and offer something different”
Enki Bracaj
The young woman, who studies
public relations at the local university, presents an international news
programme where it is quite clear that she is not wearing a bra and her almost
naked breasts can clearly be seen under her suit.
Defending
the decision to offer almost-topless news, she said: "It is not easy to
enter the world of television. So it was obvious that if I wanted to make it I
had to be brave and offer something different. I checked first with my parents
and when I found that they also supported me in my decision, it wasn't a
problem for me to go ahead like this."
And the
young woman is now finding that her popularity has spread beyond the native
Albania, with reports for example like this one about Serbian Prime Minister
Aleksandar Vucic quickly going viral in neighbouring Serbia.
Enki
added: "There is not just a lot of competition to get on television, but
also competition between the channels. I simply found a way to put myself ahead
and also to ensure that my channel gets the best ratings."
