Summary/Abstract: The article presents a descriptive understanding of the role of the written press of the Hungarian minority in Romania – maintained, safeguarded and developed in the nineties – as a decisive sub-system of minority institutionalization. The article searches answers for the following questions: 1. Which theoretical, cultural and political constraints impact the minority public operators in question? 2. How can the society of journalists that exists behind the examined press be described in sociological terms? 3. Can gatekeeper-functions be identified by means of approaches focused on the individual level or that of the layer of journalists?
