Media Capture Monitoring Report: Romania

The International Press Institute (IPI) and the Media and Journalism Research Center (MJRC) have joined forces to produce the Media Capture Monitoring Report, aimed at assessing the state of media capture by political interests and the extent to which regulation to protect media independence meets new standards set by the European Media Freedom Act (EMFA). 

The Romania report sheds light on how, despite legal frameworks designed to protect the independence of public broadcasters and regulators, both remain highly vulnerable to political interference. It is the first in a series of seven country reports to be published in 2024.

Liana Ganea and Razvan Martin, members of the ActiveWatch team, have contributed to the report.
