Is Romanian Media under Attack from the Government?

Summary/Abstract: In recent weeks much public debate focused on the alleged control of the Romanian media by the Government. The debate was centered on two focal issues: the issue of the television coverage of alternative points of view from that of the Government and the status of the National Press Agency Rompres. The Report concentrates on three points, namely: (1) whether the claim that the media grants a more extensive coverage to the Government than to any current or would-be political opponent, can be objectively substantiated; (2) whether the causes of the uneven coverage lie within the realm of Government intervention, as alleged; (3) policy options to address the problem.
