REFLECTAREA RĂSCOALEI DIN 1888 ÎN PRESA VREMII
THE UPRISING OF 1888 REFLECTED IN THE PRESS OF THE TIME

Summary/Abstract: Choosing a subject on the uprising of 1888 reflected in the modern press at that time, an important moment according both to its magnitude and deep social, economic and political results, derived from my concern on immersing in the time atmosphere through the sources, namely through the mean of some autochtone and foreign publications in this case. This scientific approach aimed to analyze every moment of the event, the different political orientation of the publications contributing to improving the researcher’s perception and gradating his conclusions. In order to cover as large as possible the subject, I selected the different points of view from the papers to present the importance they gave to one or other of the subjects in the economy of the field, reflecting the ratio the contemporaries had given to them, as we might note on the elements that had contributed to tension the rural environment and to that uprising. My attention was kept by the compassion the main part of the journalists manifested with concern with the peasants’situation, and also their perseverance in trying to identify the liberal or conservative politicians to have been responsible with the situation; I did not omitted to mention the conspiracy theories which called the foreign agents for the main factors in triggering the revolt. The papers at the time payed attention also to the authorities involvement in renormalizing the situation, their measures being an opportunity to sensibilize the readers both with detalied and moving descriptions of the excesive soldiers’gestures and the victims’pains. There were also journalists to resonate with the politicians’reason according to which the re-establishing of previous order was indispensable to implemnt the reforms that would have solutionate the rural space, where a large amount of people, in a country with 80% rural inhabitants, confronted with lack or insuficiency of land, their main means of survival.
