Summary/Abstract: Witness of the most important key-events in Romania’s history, the Romanian writer Ion Agârbiceanu couldn’t be anything else but one of the most important journalists of Transylvania, a region with a tumultuous history and a lot of unsettled periods. During almost 60 years, Agârbiceanu published more than 2.000 articles, in about 80 newspapers, like Patria, Tribuna, Transilvania, Glasul Ardealului, Unirea or Luceafărul. This paper aims to analyze the articles that Agârbiceanu wrote in his first years as a journalist, in order to understand the way he reflected the social reality and the historical facts. Also, another point of interest was to see if he tried to educate through his articles and to help people adapt to the changing society, considering that he was a writer, so he had the skills to make himself understood and to capture interest. As a further research, this study can help to understand the way his ideas changed during the years and also for a better interpretation of his literature.
