Summary/Abstract: Validation of journalism as a profession and its integration in a specific area of competence is an imperative because its exclusion from the sphere of professionalism involves limitations, which could lead to reduce the important role it plays in society. Surveys of journalism in the communist era by appealing to individual memory is an attempt to safeguard a profession condemned and stigmatized by establishing significant indicators of social and professional identity. We cannot talk about the condition of the communist journalist without reviewing the "new approach" of past professional media, current reality, namely public display of files, some the result of personal vendetta between "old" and "new guard" of journalism. A new approach for (re)constitution and (re)composition of individual memories would allow enrolling the journalist as a professional in the social memory.
