Abstract

The challenges faced by qualitative journalism are numerous, and the effects are clearly obvious at society level, when info rmation consumption from various sources is increasing; however, we find that only some of the users are qualified to undertake and analyze data and journalistic content. There are numerous pressures registered by professional journalism, equally as much a s creating journalistic content regarding the rules of the trade can be a difficult task for the non professional author. One of the first forms of such pressure was generated by the economic crisis in 2008, imposing a restructuring of media organizations. Another valence of pressure consists in the inability and slowness of active journalists to adapt to the rigors of digital media. A main focus and of major importance is the re tabloidization phenomenon in Romanian and international media, on every branch : written press, radio, television, and online platforms. The technological revolution has been a favourable breeding ground for commercial television channels, less inclined to the rigors of deontology. A further development is the citizen journalism , var ied in representation and extremely active. This study aims for the complicated mass media citizen journalism relation, as well as the challenges of qualitative journalism.
