Summary/Abstract: This paper is analyzing how evolved Romania from cultural point of view after the fall of communism. Our country has become one of the regions exposed to and influenced by cultural homogenization, cultural imperialism, westernization or Americanization of the world. To at least partially answer to these questions it will do a analysis of the two possibilities concerning this process in the media from Romania. The two possibilities are: 1. The integration of Romanian media into the trends of homogenization/globalization; 2. The integration of Romanian media in the specific policies and procedures of the localism.
