Dielli is a newspaper published in the United States by Vatra, the Pan-Albanian Federation of America.

History

Dielli started on February 15, 1909, as a political-patriotic newspaper of the Besa-Besën society of
Boston, Massachusetts, one of the main organizations of the Albanian diaspora in the US. Its first
manager was George Konda.[1] In 1912, "Besa-Besën" and other Albanian-American organization
merged into "Vatra", while the newspaper became the official press organ of the new society with Kristo
Kirka as manager. It was founded by Fan Noli, and it is one of the longest Albanian publications in
overall.[2]

Dielli's list of chief-editors includes prominent figures of Albanian emigre in the US, and Albanian politics
in general throughout the 20th century: Fan Noli, Faik Konitza, Kristo Floqi, Christo Dako, Paskal Aleksi,
Dennis Kambury, Costa Chekrezi, Bahri Omari, Loni P. Hristo, Andon S. Frashëri, Andrea D. Elia, Nelo
Drizari, Qerim Panariti, Xhevat Kallajxhi, Eduard Liço.
From 1990 to 1994, the newspaper was in turmoil, changing managers frequently Din Derti, Arshi Pipa,
Gjon Buçaj, Agim Karagjozi, Agim Rexhaj, Anton Çefa. It stopped publishing in December 2006, due to
divergences of the editorial staff with Vatra's council. It restarted publishing in 2011. It has been
headquartered in various locations including Detroit, Michigan; Worcester, Massachusetts; and Boston,
Massachusetts.[3]

Dielli has covered a wide thematic starting from political, patriotic, also performing social, cultural,
poetic, and informative activities. During its lifespan, it has focused on various problems concerning the
Albanian society starting from the National Cause, following with World War I and the newly created
Albanian state, de-feudalisation of Albania, working class rights, as well as thematics concerning
Albanian American society.[4]
