Anri Bala (born August 26, 1987) is an Albanian journalist who has worked for many years in the media sector, mainly in print, but also in the capital's television. During the years of his studies, he has initially started his work as a crime and investigative reporter, until after completing studies at the Journalism and Communication branch at the University of Tirana.

Later, he worked in some of the country's well-known newspapers, but also at the Albanian Telegraphic Agency, the only official agency of the Republic of Albania, founded in 1912. Less engaged in the visual media sector, he worked as part of the programming staff on private television "TV Koha", in 2005-06 and years later in Albanian Screen.

Immediately after graduation, he emerged as a rebellious and talented journalist who often collided with his country's various problems, with comments and analysis articles, mainly about the aggravated state of Albanian society as a result of the policies maladies and problems arising from mismanagement, but also in the professional aspect of journalism.

Bala is part of the new generation of Albanian journalists who managed to seize the "fence" raised by the caste of the old journalists of the era of pluralism in Albania, often by doing so he has been attacked by his colleagues, not only censoring, but also bringing him for "threat", with the intent to intimidate and interrupt his mission. None of them won any media debate or litigation with the journalist by listing him a professional, who not only criticizes his country's corrupt politicians and activists, but also colleagues and media owners.

He is the first Albanian journalist of his age who cast in the online media market, one of the first newspapers, "Zathur" in 2013, as a collaboration of a group of young, newly graduated journalists, such as the only opportunity to have a window in the field of media and analysts of the country.

Today, Zathur continues his mission, but under the changed name "Ekskluzive". The idealist reformer, the leader of this newspaper, has broad success and public support because he strongly criticizes crime and corruption, specifically within executive power and the justice system.
