Summary/Abstract: The Focus section of our journal conducts an opinion poll among Hungarian journalists from Romania: the questions concern their existential problems and the professional challenges they face in their work. We have selected reporters and editors who are publishing day by day in the regional and county newspapers. We have not neglected the journalists working in audiovisual press, but their number is small, because there are many more written press editorial staffs than radio or TV stations on the Transylvanian media market. We have asked the following questions: are they content with the present salary, is this commensurable with their efforts and accomplishments? How many times have they thought about leaving the job because of the wretched working conditions? Why is it worth working in the Hungarian press from Romania for the mediocre salaries paid? Is it conceivable that they will retire from the present workplace? And finally, why is it worth being a Hungarian journalist in Romania?
