Romanian Journalism– a Few Aspects
Abstract
We can only discuss about Romanian press, according to some sources, since 1820. However, the growth of Romanian press was so fast that we cannot imagine such a rhythm nowadays. The battles in newspaper pages have often been noisy and long. Some journalists have fought against parliamentarianism and others against universal vote, since these gave illiterates the power to decide who can lead the country. Another fierce battle that took place in the press was the one that discussed on which side Romania should fight in the First World War. Terrible battles also took place on the pages of newspapers regarding the issue of “affirmation of feminine personality”. The same happened in the case of honour battle. Today, the headlines are different, but now, just as in the past decades, Romanian journalists cannot even agree on issues that are of national interest.
