Summary/Abstract: Controlling daily newspapers in the first years of Ceaușescu's rule is a subject for this paper. Through describing the GDPP (The General Directorate for Press and Printing, DGPT), institution of censorship in the 1960ies and 1970ies, important techniques of control and its systemic fragility are revealed. Ethnicizing censorship, presenting its minority aspects is the second aim in this study: comparing a control of the two (Romanian and Hungarian) daily newspapers in Oradea, similarities and differences in majority and minority censoring are to be highlighted.
