Summary/Abstract: The inter-war period generated an unprecedented development of the press in our country, most of the newspapers, gazettes and magazines depicting the political life. This situation was due, on one side to the economic progress, registered after World War I, and, on the other side to the stabilisation of the democratic institutions. Stimulated by official institutions or the initiative of some enthusiastic intellectuals, the press in Oltenia gained, in the mentioned period, a remarkable position in forming the public opinion, a part that the politicians noticed and became interested in. Thus, there were issued plenty of newspapers and magazines, with an unequal value on addressing their content, with different types of reactions coming from advertisements etc., which were adhering to the modern newspaper ideal.
