MEDIA AND ITS RESPONSIBILITIES: ROMANIAN SYSTEM OF EDUCATION AND ITS PUBLIC PERCEPTION WITHIN ROMANIAN CONTEMPORARY MEDIA

We draw a conceptual frame for the actual media evolutions from Romania regarding the topic of national education. This frame has two dimensions. The first one is disclosing a pattern in which news and debates about education are being delivered by the media to the public. A relatively wide range of elements are scrutinized: the issue of plagiarism, the issue of the very poor quality educational system and so on. The debate is focused upon the way in which media treats nowadays these topics. The second one uncovers is asking if the Romanian media is ready to take part to a collective effort in order to improve the status of national education. A perspective upon the cultural background of the subject is developed in the end. We indicate some cultural elements which could be responsible for the media style of delivering the theme of education to public.
