%X The article presents a critical review of how media news tells stories of moralsuffering related to the new Romanian diaspora (emerged after the EU enlargement).These ¡°news stories¡± invite the individual spectators to become public actors of a¡°community of news¡±. The author argues that due to the fact that the hosting of ethiccontroversies in the media has been turned into a show, a perverse effect of narcissisticmorals has become increasingly conspicuous: the regress of public indignation from theprotest-like attitude towards a voyeuristic and mundane, seemingly affected, stance.
