Chapter III.
INTRODUCTION OF THE LOCALY AVAILABLE MEDIA
POSSIBILITIES OF BOTH COUNRIES
ROMANIA AND SATU MARE
I. The media after the 1989 revolution
After the 1989 revolution, the explosion of the media began
to develop in Romania. In 1990 1500 issues, 65 daily paper
existed, but their number only reached the 1500 in 1989.
This was the period when the Tineretul liber (Free Youth),
Dimineaţa
(Morning),
Universul
(Universe),
Dreptatea
(Truth), Azi (Today) were released– a total of 700.000 copies
per day. The Scânteia (Spark), the Adevărul (Reality) has
become the mouthpiece of the Central Committee of the
Party, started its post-revolution activity on Christmas day,
1989. This period was the golden age for the Expres and the
Zig-Zag weekly – with 600.000 copies, but the 22 and the
România literară magazines were on the top at that time with
100.000 copies. The Evenimentul zilei daily paper, launched
22 June, 1992, with Ion Cristoiu editor-in-chief broke the
absolute record with its 600.000 copies. (Flacăra magazine –
The Romanian press is a “chained watchdog”, 20.04.2010.).
In the forthcoming years the România Liberă and the Jurnalul
www.huro-cbc.eu, www.hungary-romania-cbc.eu
The content of this document does not necessarily represent the official position of the
European Union
Naţional daily paper also were also published in large
numbers.
After that the Romanian media has evolved rapidly. All forms
of media – radio, television, press, the meanwhile appearing
online media – has developed, promoting the free flow of
information and the free information of the public. Some
minority groups have also found a means of expressing their
opinion, such as the Magyar Szó and the Allgemeine Zeitung.
Private television companies have appeared, for example
ProTv, Antena1, PrimaTV, and the private radio stations.
Later news televisions such as Realitatea TV, the Antena3
and the RTV also appeared.
II. The economic crisis and the media
The economic crisis has strongly affected the media market
in Romania as well from the autumn of 2008. The sudden
reduction in the cost of advertising for companies poured
cold water on the vigorously developing and expanding
press. In the 2000s the Romanian media have developed
strongly and the number of quality papers and television
channels increased substantially and parallel to the increase
of the economy and standard of living it flourished. In 2007
on a national level there were about 300 publishers that dealt
with printing newspapers of which 159 were daily paper. In
www.huro-cbc.eu, www.hungary-romania-cbc.eu
The content of this document does not necessarily represent the official position of the
European Union
addition 350 publisher dealt with periodicals. So the media’s
revenue increased significantly, trebling itself in five years:
the 179 million Euro income in 2003 increased to 540 million
Euro till 2008, however the industry received a huge shock
which resulted in drastically decreased advertising costs,
reaching the 345 million Euros bottom. The revenue in the
television sector has halved while the income of the printed
media has declined for the quarter in the recent years.
(Business24.ro – The global economic crisis has severely
affected the Spanish media. What is the situation in
Romania? – 28.02.2012.)
Due to the economical crisis the Gardianul daily went
bankrupt and the career of the printed version ended in 07
January, 2010. Later the on line version of the newspaper
also disappeared. Also in January 2010 the Ziua daily,
launched in 2004, with the manager Sorin Roşca Stănescu
also ceased. The last piece of the printed version of the
Cotidianul appeared 22 December, 2009 and only the online
version continued to operate. From March 2011 the Gândul
daily, published by the Media Pro group, has not appeared in
printed version and continued to operate as one of the best
digital dailies. In October 2011 the Adevărul put an end of
the Adevărul de seară weekly special issue and a few months
later the Adevărul de seară, renamed ADS, appeared in 38
www.huro-cbc.eu, www.hungary-romania-cbc.eu

European Union
cities for money. Due to the economical crisis more than 20
daily disappeared and more than 100 periodicals went
bankrupt.
At the moment, the quality national dailies which are still
able to exist in the market: the Adevărul, the Jurnalul
Naţional, the Evenimentul Zilei, and the following sports
newspaper must be included in the list – Gazeta Sporturilor
and the Pro Sport, beside the tabloids such as Libertatea,
Can Can and Click.
III. The Romanian audio-visual media
After the revolution a fierce rivalry began for the public
television, the commercial televisions with their varied and
high quality programs caught up the public television in a
short time and even forewent it. In Romania the first private
televisions
appeared
after
1990.
The
first
commercial
television, the Antena1 was established in 1993. In 1995
another important commercial television was established, the
ProTV and since then in every second year a significant
television station enlarged the audio-visual market. At the
beginning of 2004 there were 99 televisions in Romania.
Later the highly anticipated TV channels, like Prima TV, the
B1 TV, the Acasă TV, the Tele7 ABC, the Kanal D, the OTV
also appeared in the market.

The Realitatea TV, Romania’s first news television that put
emphasis on communication of information and background
programmes,
was

in
November
2001. The
Antena3 news television started broadcasting in June 2005.
The youngest news television in the Romanian media market
is the România TV, which began its operation in October
2011.
The first private radio program was broadcasted on 31
December, 1989 from the Romanian Writers’ House, Victoriei
Avenue, Bucharest on the 92,7 MHz frequency using a radio
transmitter that was taken into Romania with the help of the
French Embassy in Bucharest. Within a short time, on 11
January, 1990 the Radio Unifan launched a radio program
and at the same year, on 19 January, the Radio Nova 22 also
started its operation. According to the National Audio-visual
Council in 2012 in Romania 633 radio stations and 750
television stations operated including satellite and terrestrial
transmission.

Gulyás
Ágnes:
Composed
the
following
in
“Tabloid
newspapers in post-communist Hungary” titled dissertation:
The Hungarian press – similarly to presses in other EastCentral-European countries – changed since the revolution; a
liberal press market took the place of the old communist
press model. The revolution – and the financial, political and
social change in general – had a huge effect on the change of
the ownership system of the press, much like it had on the
activities of the publishers and the work of the journalists.
When the forces of the market took control, new business
ventures appeared on the scene, and they ushered new
products to the press market. The most important innovation
on the market of daily papers was the creation of tabloid
papers. The Hungarian readers – who were deprived from
the joy of reading tabloid papers
in the decades of
communism – were happy about the change. In the years
after the revolution the number of the copies of such papers
grew rapidly. The press has historical traditions in Hungary.
In the decades of communism there was no room in the
soviet type media model for the tabloid papers born before
the war. In the beginning of the fifties there were four
national daily papers, by the seventies their number grew to
seven. On the eve of the revolution, the national daily papers
www.huro-cbc.eu, www.hungary-romania-cbc.eu
The content of this document does not necessarily represent the official position of the
European Union
– although they respected the obvious political barriers –
showed sizeable diversity.
According to Gulyás Ágnes we can identify three different
processes in the transformation of the Hungarian press after
the revolution: A change in the political functions of the
press, pluralization and democratization, the formation of the
market press relations, and the press commercialization and
commodification. These processes defined the specialties of
the evolving press structure, the development way of the
press market. During 1988 and 1989 the mechanics of the
communist press control ended, like the political censorship,
the
supervision

and
the
The 1986
communist press act got supplemented by the 1990 act XI.,
filing into law the freedom of paper founding and with that
demolishing the last barriers of press freedom. The other
prerequisition was the creation of market relations, meaning
the
liberalization
of
press
markets,
the

laws
becoming a leading factor, and privatization.
Another
market
specialty
also
had
an
effect
on
the
development of the papers: The transformation of press
funding. In the years after the change of regimes, the fastest
developing area of press funding was that of advertising. A
high foreign property ratio is a typical specialty of the postwww.huro-cbc.eu, www.hungary-romania-cbc.eu

change of regimes Hungarian press relations. Foreign media
companies appeared on the Hungarian market right at the
beginning of the transformation, and became dominant in
most press market segments. The state privatized the
market of national daily papers, and most papers became the
property of foreign investors.

Collaboration experiences, opportunities in the media
field, in the two countries
The economy and politics of Nyíregyháza shows high levels of
openness to create fruitful relationships and contacts with
other nations, people, cultures, in light of this our city
established an extensive and actively effective sibling city
relation network with many west and east European cities.
We continuously take care of and expand our international
relations; currently we have several similar projects under
planning and in the works, together with Szatmárnémeti,
these show synergy with this tender.
The goal of this recently (in 2011) realized collaboration –
also within the HURO program - was to strengthen the
cooperation in the cross-border area, through this the
experts and services working in environment protection, in
the social sphere, and in the cultural sphere got closer to
each other between Nyíregyháza and Szatmárnémeti. The
total budget of the project was almost 20 million Ft.
The establishment of the European Regional Partnership is
currently in the works also together with Szatmárnémeti,
www.huro-cbc.eu, www.hungary-romania-cbc.eu
The content of this document does not necessarily represent the official position of the
European Union
Nyíregyháza had a general goal with the creation of this,
which is to strengthen the economic and social cohesion
among each other by the cross-border collaboration of the
two cities, and to jointly acquire a wide range of European
Union and other sources.
In spite of the possibilities granted by the geographical
proximity, after 1990 there was barely any contact between
the presses of the Hungarian Szabolcs-Szatmár-Bereg and
the Romanian Szatmár (Satu Mare) county, aside from the
personal relationships of the Hungarian journalists living in
the Hungarian county and the Romanian county. The very
first institutional media relationship between the two counties
were established when the Austrian Voralberger Medianhaus
group bought the Szatmári Friss Újság named Szatmár
county based Hungarian language daily paper, because this
same company is the owner of the Kelet Magyarország titled
Szabolcs-Szatmár-Bereg county Hungarian language daily
paper. The sponsorships available by the collaboration
program

overreaching
the
Hungarian
–
Romanian border was the factor, which made the relationship
of the two neighboring counties stronger.

Cooperation inside a media group
The first media contact between Szabolcs-Szatmár-Bereg
county and Szatmár (Satu Mare) was born in 2004, when the
Szatmári Friss Újság titled Hungarian language daily paper
was bought by the Austrian Voralberger Medienhaus group,
which is the owner of several Austrian, Hungarian, Romanian
and Ukrainian papers.
The Friss Újság switched to a modern format immediately,
which is typical for the papers of the Austrian media group
that owns a significant portion of the Hungarian press. The
journalists of this Szatmár based Hungarian language daily
paper took part in countless training and experience sharing
together with the journalists working at the Nyíregyháza
seated Kelet-Magyarország and the Debrecen seated HajdúBihari Napló. Furthermore journalists of the Friss Újság and
the Kelet Magyarország shared much information with each
other in topics, which has an effect on both sides of the
border. The cooperation between the two papers ended in
2012, when the Inform Media Romania company sold the
Friss Újság to the Tradeholding Kft, which is the owner of this
Hungarian language Szatmár daily paper to this day.

Cross border news agency
In the time period between September 2009 and May 2011
as a result of the cooperation between the two county’s press
organs the “Romanian-Hungarian News agency and Economic
Affiliation Network” project got realized. The main goal of the
project was to inform the population of Szabolcs-SzatmárBereg county and Szatmár (Satu Mare) county in two
languages about the novelties and actualities in the region,
this was accomplished by the Kölcsey TV of Nyíregyháza and
the Regionale Company of Satu Mare. The project makes it
possible for the local governments, civil organizations and
public institutes to propagate themselves in a wide range by
freely publishing their press releases on the two portals
created specifically for this. The two portals, which work by
the same principles, as news agencies, can be reached on
the following web addresses: the Hungarian language is on
the www.szatmarinfo.hu site, the Romanian language is on
the www.szatmarinfo.ro site.
Two language news portal
The
accomplishment of the
“Ecoinfo
–
information
as
economic potential” titled cross-border project was a new
possibility for collaboration between the two county’s media
www.huro-cbc.eu, www.hungary-romania-cbc.eu
The content of this document does not necessarily represent the official position of the
European Union
organs in the period between May 2011 and October 2012.
The project supported by the Romanian – Hungarian CrossBorder Cooperation 2007 – 2013 program was accomplished
with help of the Bio-Szil Nonprofit Kft. in Nyíregyháza and the
Asociatia Interaction 2050 civil service in Satu Mare. The
main goal of the project was to make the communities living
on the two sides of the border know each other better by
current news provided for them in Hungarian and Romanian
languages as well. Providing the news was realized through
two channels: through the news programs aired on the two
county’s local radio stations, and through the two language
news portal available on the www.ecoinfo.eu web address.
The news of the two county’s towns has been translated, and
they have been aired five times a day in Szatmár (Satu
Mare) county in Romanian and Hungarian languages and also
in Hungarian language in Szabolcs-Szatmár-Bereg county. In
Szatmár (Satu Mare) county the news were aired by Radio 1,
Radio Transilvania Carei and City Radio, and in SzabolcsSzatmár-Bereg county by Ha-Jo radio.
Television channels are starting to work together
Because the relations between the Szatmár (Satu Mare)
County Council and the Szabolcs-Szatmár-Bereg County
Council got stronger recently, cooperation started between
www.huro-cbc.eu, www.hungary-romania-cbc.eu
The content of this document does not necessarily represent the official position of the

the television channels in the counties, which became
another link between the two counties. The television
channels provided video footage and necessary information
for Nord-Vest TV in cases when the meetings were held in
Nyíregyháza, when the meetings were held in Satu Mare the
Romanian colleagues did the same. No cooperation started
yet in other fields between the two neighboring county’s
television channels.

Carrier perspectives and qualification possibilities of
the young experts working in the media, in both
countries
“The young people of Szatmár don’t want to be journalists”
In regards to journalist qualification, there was only one
possibility in the Szatmár county higher education: The Satu
Mare branch of the “Vasile Goldis” University of Arad. But
because of the low number of applicants there were only four
classes of journalists in the past two decades.
The first time there was a full time journalist major was the
1997/1998 school year; its length was 4 years. In that year
43 people applied for the major and only 23 completed it.
The second time the journalist major started was in the
1998/1999 school year, also with a 4 year length and also in
full time. From the 57 applicants of Szatmár only 33
managed to get a basic university degree.
www.huro-cbc.eu, www.hungary-romania-cbc.eu
The content of this document does not necessarily represent the official position of the
European Union
In the 1999/2000 school year there were 28 applicants for
the 4 year long full time journalist major, and only 19
students managed to complete their studies.
The last time a full time journalist major started was in the
2000/2001 school year, its length was 4 years as well, this
time from the 27 people who applied only 16 completed their
studies.
So as we can observe, during these 4 years the number of
students drastically decreased, which lead the leadership of
the Satu Mare branch of “Vasile Goldis” University not to
start a journalist major in the future.
Note, that the journalist major did not appear among the
study offerings of the Satu Mare branch of “Vasile Goldis”
University in the 2000/2001 school year. Currently there are
only a few different journalistic and communication courses
in other majors.
It is apparent from the offerings of the “Vasile Goldis”
University of Arad, that the University’s graduates will be
able
to
perform

following

Furthermore graduates of the major can apply for a job in

the
TRIBUNA
UNIVERSITATII (Tribune of the university) titled publications,

the goal of these is to provide future journalist with the
opportunity to get practical experience.
Even so not many graduates could get a job in this field
because of the lack of experience, the rushed working pace
or the less than expected salaries. Most have retrained
themselves and pursue different careers.
“In Nyíregyháza many have considered this career”
In the area of the Hungarian communication education there
were many opportunities nationwide in the past years for the
young people to get education in the field of media sciences.
In the University of Nyíregyháza, seated in the county town
of Szabolcs-Szatmár-Bereg county, there was communication
education in every year in the past 16 years. The young
people could get a degree in media science. In our days
there is motion picture and media education even in the
secondary and elementary schools. It is also possible to take
final exams from media at the end of secondary school.
In Hungary it is possible to study almost all forms of
journalism,
and
many
young
people
lived
with
this
opportunity in the past years. There was only one problem,
the scope of the market was too small. In the past years in
www.huro-cbc.eu, www.hungary-romania-cbc.eu

Hungary the market of media professionals became over
populated and young people came out from an educational
system that provided little experience. Because of these
reasons very few could get a job after graduation.

Summary
This study has been made as part of the project “Integrated
media tools and training conditions for the county seats development and implementation”. Because of the nature of
the tender it focused mainly on the field of media, besides
presenting the basic goals and milestones of the project and
the participating partners.
The goal of the study was only to show through some
question groups, that there are similar and different features
between Romania and Hungary regarding the media market,
media education and press history.
It was our aim to give a short list style picture of the medias
found
(and
currently
available)
in
Satu
Mare
and
Nyíregyháza. What papers, television channels, and radio
stations exist and operate in the cities on both sides of the
border, and which are the fields where the two countries
have cooperation opportunities.
Besides this a camp was part of the project, which expanded
the knowledge of young people about the field of media.

Today’s youth need a certain type of basic knowledge about
its genres, it was our aim to give an outlined help about this
in one of the chapters.
It was not our goal in the highlighted chapters to present the
entire train of thoughts, about the areas highlighted in the
table of contents, but to give you an outlined picture, which
could help to establish the bases of a media cooperation in
the future.
As a summarizing thought it can be told, that there is an
economic, financial, cultural, societal, social and other types
of need to provide broader information for the people living
on both sides of the border, and for a shared media
collaboration.
