COMUNICAREA PUBLICĂ ÎN CADRUL MINISTERULUI PUBLIC
THE PUBLIC COMMUNICATION IN THE PUBLIC MINISTER

Summary/Abstract: The Public Minister acts especially in the domain of preventing and fighting criminal activities, which is a public service and it is made through prosecutor`s offices. Acting in the interest of the society, it is important that the public opinion is well informed about the activity of the prosecutors in order to stay confident that the persons who break the law and commit crimes, the most serious acts against social order, are trialed and punished. An important role in this process is played by the media who is the link between the Public Minister and the public opinion. In order to inform the public correctly and in a complete manner, it is essential that every prosecutor’s office has a spokesman who acts by a set of rules that put a balance between on one hand, the interests of people involved in the act of justice, who could have their rights affected by the leak of information in the press, and on the other hand, the right of public opinion to have access to public information. An increased interest in knowing information regarding the criminal investigation exists in cases that are highly presented in the media, such as medical errors, serious traffic accidents or corruption in the public service, situations which, in the absence of an adequate communication, could lead to so called “crisis situations”.
