In a democratic state, the press provides transparency and protects citizens from abuse, but digital transformations have affected this role. Algorithm-driven online platforms encourage misinformation and polarization. UNESCO standards emphasize the need for editorial independence, but in Romania, funding policies have compromised it. The degradation of the press affects democracy, generating distrust and vulnerability to manipulation. Protecting a free press is essential for national security and the proper functioning of democracy.
