Abstract:
Over the last few years we have witnessed an explosion of information and advice for parents on how to raise their children, communicated through books and magazines, television or via Internet. However, less attention has been granted to the quality of those messages and their impact over the public. The journalistic campaign impact, how the media fulfills its important role by providing information and support on parenting, school career and preparation for life, can be seen by analyzing the press articles released. In this study I want to analyze the representation of early parenting topic in the online written press in Romania. The first dimension concerns the evolution of media interest during the legal regulation regarding children’s situation in Romania in the European context, while the second one relates to how the press plays an important role in providing information and support to young parents assuming their role as parents, in regards to the school career and preparation for life. The importance of the journalistic field in the social world is determined by the monopoly over large scale broadcasting of information. Through them, the media exerts a strong influence on the audience and the actors portrayed in news articles treat the relationship like any other, experimented or not, the journalist becoming the bridge between the individual life and the large public.
