Zusammenfassung:In order to highlight the current journalism foibles, some voices bring for other journalistsof other time overstatements, in some cases even undeserved. While it may seem shocking to some, thepress was never flawless. Despite this, the public tends to judge, perhaps too harshly, the value ofnowadays journalistic publications, referring to the realities of other eras. Thus, post-communistjournalist is considered inferior to the communist one, because the latter would not ever be allowed topublish the horrors that today we encounter in newspapers, on the internet or in broadcasts on radio ortelevision. The result of man's press from the communist era is considered, however, much less valuablethan the product which the journalist of interwar years offered to the public. Finally, for some editorsor reporters of the years between the two World Wars, the absolute journalist model was MihaiEminescu, who despite personal exceptional value, he was representative of a press still inferior inmany respects to that of the interwar period. In this paper, our intention is to show some of the majorshortcomings that have been alleged against the press throughout its existence. In our approach we willnot limit, but only to texts targeting newspapers and journalists in Romania.
