section: Media economics

abstract

The main role of the communist press, that of „the party’s spokesperson”, according to Lenin’s definition, was supplemented in the Socialist Republic of Romania by another role, whose importance grew significantly in time, namely that of the party’s financier. A big part of the Romanian Communist Party’s budget consisted of the income brought in by the central and local press. In 1965, the Romanian Communist Party’s budget, in value of 887.400.000 lei, was supplemented with 20 de million lei, money generated exclusively by the increase in the daily newspapers’ selling price.

abstract (second language):

Dans la Republique Socialiste de Roumanie, le rôle principal de la presse communiste, celui de „porte-parole du parti” – selon la définition de Lénine, a été double par un autre rôle qui a gagne une grande importance au long du temps, celui de financement du parti. Une des parties les plus importantes du budget du Parti Communiste Roumain était représentée par les revenues de la presse centrale et locale. En 1965, le budget de 887,4 million lei du Parti Communiste Roumain a été complété par 20 millions lei, l’argent provenant exclusivement de la hausse des prix de vente des journaux.
