Report: Investigative Media in Romania

by Karin Finkenzeller, Research Fellow of the KAS Media Programme in Romania, 2022

Finding a newsstand in Romania in the year 2022 can take quite some time. And if you decide to walk, the recommended 10,000 steps per day are easy to come by. There are only a few newsstands left. The variety of choice there may seem very large at first glance. But the daily newspapers frequently have fewer than ten pages, while those that appear weekly have a few more. Both focus on local events and consumer topics. A daily newspaper costs the equivalent of about 40 cents, while a weekly paper costs less than 2 euros. The content is correspondingly light. More pages immediately suggest politically motivated supporters.
