The findings of this research suggest that censorship is still a problem in Romania in the context of news programs. Based on the data collected, the study illustrated that ownership and government control are important problems Romanian broadcasting industry has to deal with.
All sources examined revealed excessive censorship and the existence of propaganda, propagated through all communication channels. Television was extensively employed by the communist government in the fight to convince Romanian people about the benefits of the system. The news bulletins were strictly controlled and no foreign news was allowed to be broadcast. They contained Ceausescu’s speeches, information on the economic utopian goals of the leader, or grandiose shows designed to sustain the cult of personality and the party’s ideology.
