Covering TV Violence Issues in Print and Electronic Media

Starting from the observation that TV violence is a reality in current Romanian society, taken up as such by the legislators, the academic environment and the civil society, we want to see to what extent this issue is covered in the print and electronic media and how does such coverage is carried out. Therefore, we tried to look at the development of this subject in the online written media, by elaborating on several questions: is the subject media violence" present in the Romanian media? If so, to what extent is this subject presented as a public issue (Cefai, 1996), in a contextual manner (by analyzing the causes, consequences, the different means of tackling the possible negative consequences, the impact levels, etc.), or, on the contrary, is it made into a show, being only news of the day" triggered by a trivial event and treated as such? Who are the social actors (the voices") invoked in the coverage of this subject?
