From Mass-Media Favorable for Environment to the Environmental- Oriented Citizens From mass-media favorable for environment to the environmental- oriented citizens Project number MDN061 Grant type National grant Lead organisation Civil Society Organization „Association of Environmental journalists and Ecological Tourism in the Republic of Moldova” Partner organisation Civil Society Organization „Ecological Movement of Moldova” Project background Access to environmental information, public participation and access to justice on environmental matters - set by Aarhus Convention, ratified by the R. of Moldova - may not be fully insured in terms of a superficial approach, sporadic and occasional addressing environmental issues the mass media used to resort to it. Lack of ecological subjects, topics dedicated to the phenomenon of climate change and sustainable development in mass- media does not imply absence of the respective problems and does not mean that these issues have no impact over environment and population. Aware of the fact that an uninformed society cannot be active, we decided to launch creation of a network of environmental journalists in Moldova and promote active approach to environmental issues in mass-media. Project goal The goal of the project was to create a network of environmental journalists in Moldova, which would professionally and in an attractive way reflect all the processes of European integration of our country in environmental and sustainable developments aspects, including climate changes and energy efficiency. Project budget The budget of the project is 15 000 Euro. Implementation In the framework of „From mass-media favorable for environment to the environmental- oriented citizens” project the following principal activities have been realized: 1. The journalists interested in environmental issues of the R. of Moldova have been instructed; The aim of „Environmental journalism” training was to instruct the journalists in the field of environmental journalism and to encourage them to promote environmental topics (writing articles, realization of materials on TV/radio). The training of 2 days duration took place on the 17th and 18th of October 2013. 26 persons, including 23 journalists participated in the training. The participants were assisted by 2 experts from the R. of Moldova and 1 expert from Romania, which presented the specific features of environmental journalism, some modes of considering ecological subjects. The experts had brought their presentations for the journalists, from definitions to examples from their own experience, from theory to practical exercises. The first day of the training we had the honor to invite to join us Mr. Gheorghe Shalaru, the Minister of Environment, and Mr. Victor Cotruta, the Executive Director of REC Moldova, who had come with a welcome address towards the journalists and participants. 2. A web platform was created and updated (including post-project), which hosts materials related to ecological issues, realized by the environmental journalists; Web platform www.ecopresa.md is available in three languages: Roman, English and Russian. Google Analytic data show that during the period of 18 October – 30 June 2014, ecopresa.md platform registered 4999 of sessions, with a number of 2879 of unique visitors and 13517 public disclosures of the page. During the project period a total number of 287 articles was published at RO, EN, RU pages of ecopresa.md web platform. The web platform is being permanently updated, and it has become a means of promotion of environmental NGOs and active group’s activities, various environmental events, etc. 3. There were created 3 regional groups of eco-journalists; There were established three groups of eco-journalists in the Central, Southern and Northern regions. Regional groups of eco-journalists are aimed to facilitate a better communication and a more active information and knowledge exchange among journalists, between journalists and environmental authorities; to develop common interests; to promote joint actions. Group members met in 5 thematic sessions with the participation of journalists, national and local authorities, representatives of NGOs in the field. Thematic meetings were held in Chisinau, Ungheni, Balti, Leova and Rezina towns. The first meeting was held on November 4, 2013, in Baltsi. At the meeting were invited journalists of all local media outlets and those regional from the northern districts of Moldova (Briceni, Ocnitsa, Edinets, Donduseni, Rashcani, Drokhia, Soroca, Glodeni, Faleshti, Sangerei, Baltsi). The meeting was organized in collaboration with the Independent Press Association and Northern Development Agency. The second meeting was held in Leova, on the 17th of March 2014. The meeting was dedicated to a specific topic identified jointly with environmental journalists from the south, and namely, the state of protected areas in Leova district. The journalists from Southern Regional Group and high-ranked local authorities from Leova took part in the event. The authorities responded to questions of journalists form „Cuvântul Liber” ("Free Word") newspaper, "Gazeta de Sud" (Southern newspaper), "Media Pro" TV, "Natura" („Nature)” magazine, Vocea Basarabiei (Voice of Bessarabia) radio post, and the pupils of "Mihai Eminescu" high school from Leova, who attended the discussion. The third meeting was held in Ungheni district, Corneşti village, on March 22, 2014, where the key actors - environmental journalists, representatives of Plaiul Fagului reservation, and teachers were present. The fourth meeting was held in Rezina, on May 16, 2014, at ADR Habitat principal office. The theme of discussion was chosen together with Center Group regional journalists, at the proposal of Mr. Tudor Iashchencko, the Director of „Cuvint” („The word”), which touches upon the problem of the air in Rezina district. The meeting was called: "Journalists and Environment protection: Between people's concerns and authorities’ optimism. Case Study: Air Pollution in Rezina". The round table was attended by journalists from the „Cuvint” newspaper, Impuls TV, Sholdaneshti, Elita TV, Rezina, Vocea basarabiei, Natura Magazine, local authorities (Mayor of Rezina town, a physician from the Center of Preventive Medicine in Rezina, local councilors) and population representatives. The fifth meeting was held in Chisinau on 19 May 2014, right in the Ministry of Environment, with the participation of the Minister of Environment, Gheorghe Shalaru. The meeting was organized by the initiative of the Ministry of Environment and invitation of Ministry of Environment to meet with environmental journalists namely. 2 4. The process of creation and maintenance of 5 green columns at least at 5 publications was launched; To achieve this objective during the project implementation, the project team has been constantly keeping in touch with the editors (telephone conversation, communications within a number of meetings organized by the authorities, the Independent Press Association meetings, the Environmental NGO Forum) in order to identify and promote environmental topics, to initiate and maintain environmental columns. We have focused on working with the media institutions which attended the training. But we did not limit ourselves to them only. Thus, 8 publications: "Cuvintul liber", "Timpul", "Expresul", "Gazeta de Sud", "Adevarul", "Cuvintul", "Obsrvatorul de nord", "Courierul de Hancesti" have created green columns. Unfortunately, however, there is no room for the column in newspapers, it is not placed at the same site every time, it has not got the same name – it can be either ecology, or the environment, or actualities of the environment, or the environment word, etc.), which demonstrate the need for continued work with the editors to establish a tradition. To make the activity sustainable, there was initiated a procedure of signing a Cooperation Agreement with the Independent Press Association, whose members are about 17 media outlets in Moldova. 5. There was organized the first part of the Contest for journalists who touch upon environmental issues and 11 journalists from the R. of Moldova have been awarded; According to the rules, only printed and online press journalists, who managed to realize press material addressing such environmental issues, as sustainable development; biodiversity conservation; climate change, energy efficiency; renewable sources of energy, in the period of October 18, 2013-April 15, 2014, could participate in the "Environmental Journalism Awards". Totally 43 articles, signed by 16 journalists, were submitted for the contest. Members of the jury were experienced journalists from EJETAM, and other journalists. They were: Ina Grejdeanu, Centre for Independent Journalism; George Budeanu, a journalist; Ionel capitata, a journalist, the President of EJETAM, Alexandru Savulescu, an environmental journalist from Bucharest, Romania. Thus, according to the judging, 12 printed and online journalists were awarded. The awards ceremony was held on May 19, 2014, being included in Press Freedom Day events in Moldova. To congratulate the journalists and organizers, the event was attended by Environment Minister George Shalaru, Alecu Renita, the President of Ecological Movement of Moldova and other colleagues of the field. 6. There has been realized a research regarding the reflection on environmental issues in printed press of the R. of Moldova Evaluation study, called "The press in perspective of environment topic" was a very useful and necessary exercise, taking into account that such kind of research work had not

  • Moldova Is Strongly Marked by Self-Censorship and Partisanship
    For economic or political reasons, journalism in Moldova is strongly marked by self-censorship and partisanship. A significant part of the population, especially those living in the villages, does not have access to a variety of information sources due to poverty. Profitable media still represent an exception rather than the rule. MoldoVA 166 MEDIA SUSTAINABILITY INDEX 2009 INTRODUCTION OVERALL SCORE: 1.81 M Parliamentary elections will take place at the beginning of 2009, which made 2008 a pre-election year. Although the Republic of Moldova has not managed to fulfill all of the EU-Moldova Action Plan commitments (which expired in February 2008), especially those concerning the independence of both the oldo Pmass media and judiciary, the Communist government has been trying to begin negotiations over a new agreement with the EU. This final agreement should lead to the establishment of more advanced relations compared to the current status of being simply an EU neighbor. On the other hand, steps have been taken to establish closer relations with Russia, which sought to improve its global image in the wake of its war with Georgia by addressing the Transnistria issue. Moldovan V authorities hoped that new Russian president Dmitri Medvedev would exert pressure upon Transnistria’s separatist leaders to accept the settlement project proposed by Chişinău. If this would have occurred, A the future parliamentary elections would have taken place throughout the entire territory of Moldova, including Transnistria. But this did not happen: Russia suggested that Moldova reconsider the settlement plan proposed in 2003 by Moscow, which stipulated, among other things, continuing deployment of Russian troops in Moldova in spite of commitments to withdraw them made at the 1999 OSCE summit.

Strategiile de management din 2009 au vizat consolidarea obiectivului asumat prin documentele de identitate „Viziune, misiune, valori şi principii” de a face din serviciul public de radio «cel mai credibil şi eficient mijloc de informare şi formare a publicului şi de slujire a interesului public». În pofida unui an cu mari probleme economice şi financiare, în care criza presei a devenit tot mai vizibilă, a concurenţei agresive pe o piaţă suprasaturată de infinitatea modalităţilor de consum media, Radio România s-a menţinut ca principală referinţă în materie de informaţie. Programele de ştiri şi-au reconfirmat notorietatea, formatul şi ritmicitatea – Radioul public stabilizîndu-şi poziţia de lider de audienţă la fiecare oră exactă. În plus, prin complementaritatea posturilor, SRR şi-a menţinut statutul de furnizor al unor produse de certă calitate jurnalistică, validate ca atare de categorii foarte variate de public.

  • Moldova 2021 STATEMENT of PRELIMINARY
    ENEMO International Election Observation Mission Early Parliamentary Elections, 11 July - Moldova 2021 STATEMENT OF PRELIMINARY FINDINGS AND CONCLUSIONS 12 July, 2021 ENEMO preliminarily assesses that the electoral process, including the Election Day, was conducted mostly in line with international standards. Elections were administered efficiently and in a transparent manner by the electoral administration, although some of the most important CEC decisions put into question the impartiality of some of its members. The campaign was competitive but marred by a number of alleged violations including misuse of administrative resources, illegal financing, and vote-buying. The polarized and largely biased media landscape, as well as the dissemination of false information, have limited the range of political views presented to voters. Delays in complaints adjudication as well as inconsistent decisions on key aspects of the electoral process additionally affected legal certainty. 1 | P a g e On 1 June the European Network of Election Monitoring Organizations (ENEMO) deployed an International Election Observation Mission (IEOM) to Moldova to observe the Early Parliamentary Elections of 11 July 2021. This is ENEMO’s fifth mission to Moldova. ENEMO has accredited a total of 7 Core Team experts and ten long-term observers (LTOs). Due to health risks created by the COVID-19 pandemic, the IEOM is operating partially remotely, with only a part of the Core Team being deployed in the country. LTOs were additionally deployed in Moldova for Election Day, to observe a selected number of polling stations. ENEMO observed the opening of polling stations, voting and counting processes at 158 polling stations. Additionally, up until July 10, the ENEMO IEOM conducted 738 meetings, 274 with election management bodies, 98 with political parties, 58 with candidates, 94 with state officials, 59 with media, 138 with domestic civil society organizations and 17 with other stakeholders, in addition to observing 23 campaign activities (meetings or rallies).
