The International Press Institute (IPI) and the Media and Journalism Research Center (MJRC) today launch the fourth in a new series of Media Capture Monitoring Reports for 2025, this time putting the focus on Romania. The report reviews developments regarding media capture in Romania in 2025 and the country’s compliance with the European Media Freedom Act (EMFA) since the EU Commission’s regulation entered into full force in August. It concludes that Romania has yet to implement any elements of EMFA. Although the Ministry of Culture initiated some consultations with other institutional stakeholders and some non-governmental organizations, no official draft legislation has been put forward so far.
