Emilia ŞERCAN
The political and ideological subordination of the press during the Ceaușescu régime
Romanian Journal of Journalism and Communication, issue 4 (46), year IX (XIII), 2014
section: Journalism
pages: 5-15
abstract
Subjected to a strict control by the Party, exercised
by the state monopoly imposed on all sources of
information and opinion, the press in Romania was
the instrument used by the propaganda for the
consolidation and legitimation of the communist
ideology. Converted into real weapons in the hands of
Power, the forms of communication had the mission
and the task to educate the masses, to mobilize them
to fulfill certain political or economic objectives, to
discredit enemies and to glorify the achievements of
the regime. In their need to persuade and influence
the people, to change their attitude and behavior,
Romania's Communist leaders have used the means of
communication and dissemination of the news to
inform, to transmit and to inoculate the Communist
ideology. Printed press was the most convenient
means of the communist preachers in their action for
ideologizing of the masses.

abstract (second language):
Soumis au contrôle strict du Parti, exercé à
travers le monopole d’Etat imposé sur toutes les
sources d’information et d’opinion, les médias de
la Roumanie socialiste ont constitué l’outil de
propagande utilisé en vue du renforcement et de la
légitimation de l’idéologie communiste. Transformés
en véritables armes dans les mains du Pouvoir, les
moyens de communication ont eu la mission
d’éduquer les masses, de les mobiliser pour des
objectifs politiques ou économiques établis par le
parti, de discréditer les ennemis et vanter les
réalisations du régime. Dans le besoin de convaincre
et d’influencer les masses, de modifier leur attitude et
comportement, les dirigeants communistes roumains
ont utilisé les moyens de communication afin de
diffuser et inculquer la doctrine communiste. Les
médias imprimés ont constitué le moyen le plus
accessible aux propagandistes communistes de mettre
en pratique l’action complexe d’endoctrinement
collective conçue dans les laboratoires de parti.
