Media and its responsibilities. The Romanian system of education and its public perception within Romanian contemporary media [articol]

Abstract

We draw a conceptual frame for the actual media evolutions from Romania regarding the topic of national education. This frame has two dimensions. The first one is disclosing a pattern in which news and debates about education are being delivered by the media to the public. A relatively wide range of elements are scrutinized: the issue of plagiarism, the issue of the very poor quality educational system and so on. The debate is focused upon the way in which medi a treats nowadays these topics. The second one uncovers is asking if the Romanian media is ready to take part to a collective effort in order to improve the status of national education. A perspective upon the cultural background of the subject is develope d in the end. We indicate some cultural elements which could be responsible for the media style of delivering the theme of education to public.
