Abstract
Objectives. The aim of the present paper was to present media coverage of public health in Romanian printed press between 1918 and 1945. Material and methods. A quantitative content analysis was made on a sample of 81 articles published in Romanian reviews and magazines between 1918 and 1945. Descriptive statistics was used in the analysis of the results. Results. The findings can be summarized as follows: 1). There was a small number of sources related to medical system and public health cited in the articles but they were of high quality (doctors, ministers, researchers and professors at the faculty of medicine); 2). The main type of event related to medicine and public health covered by Romanian media in that period of time was routine event (and not accident or/and scandal); 3). The journalists had adopted the role of educators about the medical system and public health. Conclusions. The basic conclusion of the study is that the media from 1918-1945 had covered the public health and medicine in a different manner that it is made today, by putting a greater stress on the quality of information regarding health and medicine, stressing the objectivity of the scientific evidences and quoting experts from the domain in direct reference to the topics.
