Summary/Abstract: In this article we are going to compare the way in which the Romanian press presented the Romanian Revolution in the 90s and the historical events that changed Romania, as the history studies show them. Speaking about the press, the 90’ are recognized as the rebirth period of the journalistic profession and the Romanian contemporary press. All the references to this period converge in words such as „euphoria”, „dynamism”, „partisanship” etc. Through our study we try to point out those ways to build credibility and, therefore, the expression of subjectivity, amid growing centres of semantic polarization. Even the subjectivity signs there are not explicitly present, they can be recomposed through the events selection, information staging, through its setting in the pattern of certain journalistic styles.
