Summary/Abstract: The post-war world order was dominated by two rigid alliances with extremely little diplomatic room for maneuver between them, facing each other across the globe. The press in post-war Romania, like the press in the other socialist countries, under the influence of the Soviet Union, was constrained by ideological demands. It can be said that it was a faithful copy of the press in the Soviet Union, its discourse taking over from the Soviet publications the obsessions regarding the fight against the imperialist forces. The print media represented the most powerful propaganda tool in the service of ideology and the communist party. The newspaper Pentru Socialism, which appeared in Maramureș county, represented, at the local level, an important tool of media manipulation. Its articles focused on espionage in the service of the imperialists, American, English, French or Israeli, depending on the case, but also on the international situation.
