Summary/Abstract: Mass Media and Romanian Journalism during Transition (1990-2002). The study attempts a synthesis of main theoretic approaches regarding the mass media in Romania’s post communist years. The context allows definitions characterizing transition in mass media, the main stages of its evolution and particularities of public communication. The written press is the first to be diversified, followed by the Radio, Television and Press Agencies. A special chapter is devoted to the education of journalists. Economic aspects of mass media are presented, as well as the media’s relation with political power, with Law, civil society, together with specific forms of organization of journalists and their professional ethics. As a conclusion, all facts brought up here prove that transition in mass-media could not overcome the complex problems of transition in Romanian society from the totalitarian state to a democratic pluralistic society, although, mass media has shown to be a dynamic factor of changes during this period.
