Abstract

This study examines the literary and scientific newspaper Drita–Lumina, published in Brăila between 1887 and 1888, the first newspaper issued by the Albanian diaspora in Romania. Drawing on the collection preserved as a unique copy in the National Library of Albania, the article clarifies several historiographical issues concerning the newspaper, explores the circumstances surrounding its foundation, the conflict between the Brăila branch and the central leadership of the Drita Society in Bucharest, and analyzes the profile and content of the periodical. The study demonstrates that the newspaper functioned primarily as a space for debate and self-organization within the Albanian community in Romania, rather than as a direct vehicle for the development of Albanian literature.
