Summary/Abstract: The Colectiv nightclub fire will probably remain in the collective memory of Romanians as one of the biggest recent tragedies. Media played an important role in informing and forming the opinion of the public in this regard. The following study reflects upon the applicable media legislation, aiming to pave the way for future empirical studies on how the Colectiv night fire has been reflected in the media. Provisions of the New Civil Code, Author’s right law 8/1996 and Code for the regulation of the audiovisual content (Decision no. 220/2011) are analyzed in connection with the right to own public image of victims, deceased and their families.
