In this study, we follow the evolution of the effort of self-regulation of journalism in Romania, more specifically, the evolution of ethical and normative discourse. We propose a historical examination of the development of the concepts included in the regulating Romanian documents, since 1899 to the present moment. Likewise, special mention is made of the various forms of the Journalists' association, whose mission has been the conception of a coherent set of professional claims. During the process of democratization that began at the beginning of the 90's, Romanian jurnalists have become ever more aware of the need for specific deontological rules to guide their professional activities. Unfortunately, the concepts contained in the most recent deontological codes remain rather "metaphorical", which gives rise to misunderstandings in journalistic practices. In this respect, there are no clear stipulations about the penalties applied to journalists who violate the ethical norms inscribed in these codes. This article supplies numerous comments and examples of such ambiguous formulations.

Studies keyed to analyzing the advances, virtues and defects of digital journalism are increasingly more commonplace. In this context, to talk of the traditional press researching its trends, development and, ultimately, functioning in a world dominated by technology seems to have become an obsolete, uninteresting task. But it should not be forgotten that the written press is still alive and kicking, and in Spain there are still a large number of people that remain faithful to their daily print newspapers to keep themselves up to date on the latest political, economic and social news. This precise moment in Spanish journalistic history is therefore marked by the coexistence of both types of journalism: traditional and digital. So much so that mixed news printed news items that direct readers to the digital version for more in-depth information — are increasingly more in vogue. Thus, research finto the traditional press should not be abandoned so hastily, aboye all as regards the repercussions electronic media have on the conventional kind. In this paper, new trends in the Spanish press will be analyzed by exploring several of the country's national and local newspapers, focusing on three quality indicators: the predominant type of journalistic discourse; the depth of news coverage; and the preservation and defence of traditional journalistic values. The study of these indicators makes it possible to check whether printed newspapers are doing their utmost to increase the quality of their information products so as to be able to compete with the digital media on an equal footing.

Three European research teams from the academic field meet to study the interest of media in matters concerning of the common European space. The results show that the European Union and its member countries do not constitute, at the moment, a usual priority issue in informative agendas of analyzed media in Poland, Romania and Spain. These results can be deduced of the analysis of the indicators of journalistic interest, such as, for example: the priority use of routine news to cover the European events; the low media interest in the Europeanist debate; the insignificant percentage of European news that media highlight on their front pages or summaries; the reduced length or extension of the majority of European news, the lack of an accurate knowledge by citizens of who is behind the spread news.
