THE EFFICIENCY OF THE NORMS PROTECTING THE PUBLIC IMAGE OF PUBLIC OFFICIALS ON THE MORAL DEVELOPMENT OF JOURNALISTS

Summary/Abstract: Romania was characterized the last years by an evolution of the legal protection of public image and reputation of public officials. The current paper assesses the efficiency of previous legal norms regulating the issues, from the standpoint of their dynamic evolution (Penal Code, New Civil Code). The merit of the paper resides in the fact that it introduces a form of measuring the efficiency of the legal norms by creating a test similar to the DIT (Defining Issues Test), adapted to the Romanian reality, and it presents the results of this evaluation concluding on the moral development of journalists as a response to the regulations that were enforced or just introduced these past years.
