Summary/Abstract: The present study is focused on the strategic options of Romania and how they are reflected in the informative media discourse. The second part of the study is a brief analysis of post-truth problems in public discourse, starting from the avalanche of lies, fake news and propaganda that threatens rational discourse and rational politics. In the third part there are presented some new initiatives concerning the fight against fake news and disinformation and the necessity to create an international coalition for protecting a fair and objective information by media and digital platforms. The messages of these initiatives are mixed, but they point in one direction: towards a communications landscape that people can trust.
