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.)

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

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 of head editor appointments permission requirement to found a paper. 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 market 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 The content of this document does not necessarily represent the official position of the European Union 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 2007 - 2013 overreaching the Hungarian – Romanian border was the factor, which made the relationship of the two neighboring counties stronger. 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 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. 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 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.

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 European Union the television channels in the counties, which became another link between the two counties.

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 commercial agent, the following press agent, activities: sales leader, media-analyst, market research-analyst, book publishing assistant, camera-man, 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 researcher in press observer agencies, insurance advisor, commentator, business advisor, personal advisor, corrector, event planner, text writer, radio announcer, human resource manager, data inserter, editor, process leader, photo reporter, donation collector, lobbyist, mediator, motivational speaker, broker, journalist, spokesman, organizer, narrator, advocate, profession lecturer, editor-reporter, editorial secretary, public relations expert, communication expert, layout editor. Furthermore graduates of the major can apply for a job in the following fields: mass communication, at advisory companies, in the correct departments of the Government, the State leader, the Police, the Military, the local governments, state departments, universities, cultural, sport, and education, departments of administration, banks, law also in institutes, the correct unions, civil organizations, citizen-, ecological organizations, firms and commercial companies, etc. The students have the opportunity to educate themselves in the studio of GOLDISTV online television, as part of the IKON photo study group. Furthermore the university has the VIATA STUDENTEASCA (University life) and the TRIBUNA UNIVERSITATII (Tribune of the university) titled publications, 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 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 The content of this document does not necessarily represent the official position of the European Union 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. 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 Chapter VI.

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. 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 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.
