Summary/Abstract: The newspaper accounts for an important symbol of writing and creative power. In our opinion, it may convey the idea of an unconventional character offering a new shape to the story itself, becoming an essential element of the literary structure. It was provided with a sense of identity and quite a lot of traditional characters have been better reflected for the readers by memorable pages of gazettes. These artful qualities are present in literary Romanian masterworks and the newspapers are both real and fictional. This interaction is presented in Caragiale's, Rebreanu's and Marin Preda's chef d'oeuvres. The contribution highlights the fact that the pages daily read by the authors themselves or by the characters betray a particular consciousness on a fruity cultural background.
