Summary/Abstract: Though paid well and valued for the role they played, most journalists before 1991 knew which bold lines not to cross. Throughout this month, Transitions will present a series of articles marking the anniversary of the fall of the Soviet Union and Yugoslavia. As we look at how life has changed – or stayed the same – over the past 20 years, TOL correspondents in Croatia, Georgia, Moldova, and Ukraine asked people in various professions to describe their working life today compared with conditions before 1991. This collection of interviews with journalists is the second in the series that resulted.
