This book serves as a comprehensive introduction to the state of mass media and journalism in Romania, a nation transitioning into the European Union. It provides essential historical, economic, and political context necessary for understanding Romania's transformation into a modern democracy. Authored by two leading experts in public communication—one a prominent Romanian scholar and the other a distinguished American specialist in international communication—the study examines key elements of Romania's mass media system, including its legal framework, media economy, institutional structures of print and audiovisual media, and media education. The analysis highlights the struggles for control within the professional field among various stakeholders, including media owners, managers, and journalists. It offers deep insights into the evolution of mass media in Romania, contrasting the post-communist landscape with its communist predecessor. The study uncovers continuity in institutional structures, work routines, and professional ideology, drawing connections between 19th and early 20th-century press practices. It emphasizes the political culture that values subjective expression and elitism, as well as the media's role in shaping national identity, all of which resonate in today's journalism landscape.
