PERIODICALS PUBLISHED IN SINAIA DURING THE REIGN OF KING CAROL I

Summary/Abstract: Thanks to its destiny as a "royal residence", Sinaia was, at the end of the 19th century, the fastest growing town on the European continent. The first house was built in 1872, the settlement acquired its own administrative status in 1874, and became a town ten years later. All the attributes of a thriving town also emerged and grew rapidly. In 1890, the first printing press and the first newspaper were established here. The newspapers that are printed in Sinaia until the beginning of the First World War are varied, with different periodicity and highlight two distinct aspects, addressing different groups. On the one hand there are the inhabitants of the town (those who live here all year round, as well as those who have holiday homes in the resort), on the other hand there are the tourists who need information. Discovered at the Romanian Academy Library, these periodicals, published between 1890 and 1914, deserve a dedicated research in the context of the era.
