Summary/Abstract: The study gives a short account of the situation of Hungarian electronic media in Romania. The main focus is on the presentation of the results of the media monitoring (from linguistic point of view) led by a joint group of researchers from the Sapientia University and the Babeș–Bolyai University. The starting point of the research was the acknowledgment of the fact that the language use of the Hungarian electronic media from Romania differs from that of Hungary, as – despite the fact that theoretically there is only one language norm to be followed – the Hungarian language in Romania is spoken in bilingual or rather multilingual context, thus the foreign influences naturally appear.
