Mass-media on European Issues. The Romanian Press and the Future of the E. U.

Summary/Abstract: Following a rare national consensus, Romania joined the European Union on January 1, 2017, thus ending the post World War II geopolitical order. Since then, 12 years have passed with their accomplishments, frustrations and the initiatives that have consumed various projects, controversies and unequaled passions. The Romanian press has mirrored the realities and false expectations which have paved the road of our most ambitious and complex political, social, economic and cultural project of our time. Even so, as we show in a previous analysis (Ciochinaru, 2018, 31), the Romanian mass media along with other segments of Romanian society was not prepared to cope with this historic event resulting in a rapid process of degradation. The failure of the Romanian press to model a new democratic society was manifest in the handling of Romania’s European agenda.
