In the context of recent political realities, the issue of "political culture" is becoming a major issue, both in practical terms, ie the way "how it translates into life" and conceptually. The notion as such was introduced into the scientific circuit by the contemporary American political scientist Herman Finer (1956) and developed by Gabriel A. Almond and Sidney Verba (1963). The mission of training the political culture has been undertaken by several institutions and organizations in the public segment, the media sector having the role of monitoring and knowledge of the processes that occur in various areas of socio-political and economic life, training the new democratic values of liquidation of the handicap that the "new democracies" have in correlation with the developed countries. In this study, the author aims to identify the extent to which the press, especially in the Republic of Moldova, fulfills its role as a trainer of political culture.

Abstract. Currently, political violence is a central issue in the world-wide social agenda. This paper describes the psychosocial logic that legitimizes that violence, analyzed as a challenge for social and political psychology, implying that we have to work toward the construction of a culture of peace. Additionally, diverse concepts about peace are discussed. Finally, the transcendental role played by mass media in this dynamic and particularly the framing theory, are analyzed. Moreover, this paper considers how mass media and news are determinant factors in the beliefs, relational frames, and construction of feelings and are, thus, a barrier to coping and peacefully solving the conflicts that end in political violence.
