Summary/Abstract: Considered the golden age of Romanian journalism, the interwar period was one of Marius Mircu’s most prolific stages of career. He worked for more than 80 years (as he was born in Bacău, Romania, in 1909, and died in Israel, in 2008), and published both in Romanian and Jewish periodicals, in general-audience newspapers and magazines, as well as in children’s magazines, a sphere of keen interest to him. The enthusiasm of his youth and his wish to make a difference contributed to his involvement in many projects. The reporter’s activity during the interwar period was influenced by the wide variety of topics he was fond of: news, foreign policy, social issues, criminality, leisure, children’s magazines, culture and education, travel logs in the country and abroad. Despite the restrictions imposed by Romanian fascist authorities during the Second World War, Marius Mircu managed to publish an impressive number of works, some of which were later collected and published in volumes. The purpose of this paper is to present an overview of Marius Mircu’s contributions to Romanian journalism during the interwar period.
