Mass Media in Romania, 30 years on

The Romanian ISSN Centre, hosted by the National Library of Romania, contributed  to an anthology on the topic of ‘Mass Media in Romania, 30 years on »,  with a chapter on ’Serials in national statistics,’ written by Aurelia Persinaru, the coordinator of the centre. The chapter highlights the usefulness of the ISSN code and of the data-base in carrying out statistical analysis on trends emerging from the last 30 years of Romanian press, as well as the advantages of their systematic use in identifying the Romanian continuing resources. The volume offers a comprehensive overview of the evolution (and indeed revolution) that marked the national media landscape, covering topics ranging from media consumption patterns to the relationship between the press and public affairs.
