Summary/Abstract: The regional medias of smaller or larger regions are an integral part of the Hungarian minority public sphere in Romania; moreover, these represent the most characteristic type of Hungarian media in Transylvania. Their thematisation, distribution and market are related to the region they are published in, while the main aim of their activity is to represent the society of that region. In this study, I try to find some aspects and procedures of how the regional media contributes to the representation of the rural areas, through the description of some structural and operational features of the Hungarian language media – print, online media, television channels and radio stations. The aim of this study is to examine the position and role of the official media between the informal and formal public spheres.
