opinion - is the political distortion of the information broadcast by TV stations.The
most intense aggressions are those against local press. In some districts, political
leaders, heads of the local administration, associated with businessmen put
on immense pressure on the few publications who dear to release criticisms addressed
to them. Read more about this controversial issue.

Nationalist Message in Mass Media
A Report on Print and Electronic Media in Eastern European Countries
(Hungary, Romania, Slovakia and Federal Republic of Yugoslavia)
The
program called “Nationalist Message in the Mass Media”, coordinated
by the Media Monitoring Agency – Academia Catavencu, aimed mainly
at objectifying the ‘hate-speech’ level that exists in the
national press of the countries of origin of those organizations that participate
in the research. Our hope is that the results published in this volume will
urge the community of journalists, and generally that of public speakers –
politicians, opinion leaders - to reflect. In other words, we provided our fellow
journalists and all those addressing the general public with a useful instrument
to enhance their professional responsibility. The fundamental premise
of the freedom of speech is the existence of a professional conscience
that is free of political influences and prejudices against our fellow beings.
