Political and geopolitical topics continued to dominate the attention of the public who were informed yesterday on social networks, according to an analysis of the top 100 headlines with high engagement on Facebook.
The protest held yesterday in Victory Square and in front of the AEP generated considerable viral interest. Some of the sources reported in an informative or critical register, focusing on the legal dimension of the demonstration (lack of authorization), the number of participants and the reactions of the authorities [Stirile PROTV, g4media.ro, Digi24, HotNews.ro]. On the other hand, the platform [Realitatea] offered a mobilizing approach, sometimes mocked by other publications [ziaristii.com, aktual24].
A significant component of the online visibility generated around Călin Georgescu was related to the revelations about the involvement of influencers in his promotional campaign. Several articles [RomaniaTV, epochtimes-romania.com, viva.ro] have detailed the amounts paid by Bogdan Peschir to public figures such as Oana Zăvoranu, Culiță Sterp, Mădălin Ionescu or Tzancă Uraganu, revealing a concerted effort to amplify Georgescu's image in the digital environment.
The topics of national security and geopolitics attracted increased interest, being reflected in multiple articles about warnings of possible conflicts in Europe and risks for Romania in the context of the war in Ukraine [biziday.ro, Digi24, mariustuca.ro, Stirile PROTV, RomaniaTV]. Romania's diplomatic relations were also discussed, in the light of speculations about the change of the Romanian ambassador to the US and of the foreign minister [Realitatea, aktual24.ro], against the backdrop of the controversy over the suspension of Romania's inclusion in the Visa Waiver Program [epochtimes-romania.com, 60m.ro].
The public was also interested in the journalistic annex [recorder.ro] on a former PSD politician, as well as in the report about an investigation into allegations of corruption in the European Parliament, also involving three Romanian MEPs [biziday.ro]. The CNA drew public attention with its decision to demand the withdrawal of a clip in which Marius Tucă talked about an alleged "coup d'état" [paginiademedia.ro].
Non-political current events were also of interest to the public. Several materials highlighted the anniversary of the Custodian of the Romanian Crown [mariustuca.ro, glasulcetatii.ro], or the disappearance of the writer Doina Jela [radioromaniacultural.ro], while the fire that affected the church of the Village Museum in Timișoara [Renasterea, Opinia Timisoarei] was mostly in the local press.

***** Synthesis made with the help of a monitoring feed provided by the NewsVibe Romania, team based on several online monitoring software. The top viral links are measured based on the number of interactions generated on Facebook by topics from the Romanian online press. Virality is measured by the cumulative number of likes, comments and shares obtained by various links over the course of a day.
We can observe, every time, that the virality of a link is not directly proportional to the overall impact of an online source. Often, links coming from local sources, or niche pages can get significantly more interactions than traditional media sources.
The analysis, data and images presented have been enhanced using Machine Learning and Artificial Intelligence tools.
