Summary/Abstract: The emergence of written press in Transylvania at the beginning of the 19th century is a natural consequence of the national and social revival initiated in the last decades of the 18th century by the scholars of the Transylvanian School. The cultural movement, the press is part of, is oriented in two directions: one, national, which aimed at obtaining and defending the rights of the Romanian nation and its affirmation, the other, social, which aimed at the economic and social emancipation of the Romanians and equality in rights with the other nationalities of the Habsburg Empire.
