The unregulated status of journalists working for private media companies is also characteristic of Romania, where there are no trade unions or agreements, and where every attempt by journalists to oppose this state of affairs has so far proved futile. One argument frequently used by publishers to fend off such attempts is the availability of young journalists seeking jobs.
Neurejeni status novinarjev v zasebnih medijih je značilen za Romunijo, kjer ni sindikatov in ni pogodb, ter se vsak poskus novinarja, da bi se uprl, kadar se od njega na primer zahteva, da piše naročene članke, konča z izjavo lastnika: »Trije mladi ljudje, ki iščejo službo, že čakajo pred mojo pisarno, da jih najamem.«
