REDACTORII "TRIBUNEI" DIN SIBIU: CARIERE UNIVERSITARE ȘI PROVOCĂRI JURNALISTICE
THE EDITORS OF "TRIBUNA" FROM SIBIU: UNIVERSITY CAREERS AND JOURNALISTIC CHALLENGES

Summary/Abstract: The history of Tribuna's movement has a high importance for Romanian academic knowledge.The newspaper was founded in Sibiu in 1884, and it was marked by an entire series of intellectuals fromTransylvania. We note that the first generation of Tribuna was formed by Telegraful Roman editorial board,many prospective members of this newspapers being initiated into politics and journalism by NicolaeCristea. They wanted to set a newspaper in Transylvania in order to keep a close contact with liberal circlesin the Kingdom, as the man of the Tribuna members in Bucharest was Ion Bianu. With all the research thathas been done so far on this subject of Tribuna movement, the contribution of liberals of the Old Kingdomto the establishment of Tribuna in Sibiu is still unknown. The leadership of the new newspaper was takenover by the writer, journalist and scholar Ioan Slavici, who at that time worked at Timpul newspaper inBucharest.To prepare this study, we used general bibliography about the modern history of Transylvaniaand the Tribuna movement, studies, articles and unpublished sources, the Metropolitan Library Archive ofSibiu, Ioan Lupaş Fund. In the cases that described biographical medallions we were most likely unable toreconstruct the life of some of the Tribuna members, leaving room to other research on this topic.
