IOAN BERBERIANU ŞI PERIODICUL „LIBERALUL CONSTANŢEI“
IOAN BERBERIANU AND THE NEWSPAPER „LIBERALUL CONSTANŢEI”

Summary/Abstract: The present study analyses the extent to which the politics and administrationof the city of Constanta were reflected in the newspaper "Liberalul Constanţei" in theyears before and after the First World War. Our choice was well-reasoned. Theweekly newspaper appeared from the summer of 1913 to the summer of 1916, in afirst series, and, after the war, from January 1920 to the middle of 1928 in a secondseries, having, after a decade, over 500 numbers published, with an absolutelyremarkable continuity, compared to other publications of the time, most of themdiscontinuous and totally ephemeral.„Liberalul Constanţei” meant also a large financial investment, initiallysupported by party funds (1913-1915), then (1915-1916, 1920-1928), from theresources of a middle-class individual and his family, who financially supported thepublication.The reading of the „Liberalul Constanţei” offers the opportunity to talk aboutthe problems of a booming city, it helps to know the life of a man, completelydedicated to the community in which he lived, but, at the same time, we are forced toobserve that over ephemeral political regimes or the remarkable advances oftechnologies, the state administration has proved to be little receptive to any positivechange.
