Cum a ajuns o prezentatoare TV de știri cu credibilitatea Andreei Esca să urce pe scenă într-un spectacol plătit, în orașul lui Ilie Bolojan

A recent controversy arose when Andreea Esca, a prominent Romanian news presenter, was paid to promote a public festival, raising concerns about conflicts of interest in journalism. A study by Ipsos indicates that news presenters are generally trusted more than politicians or influencers. However, the lack of clear regulations in Romania regarding the separation of journalistic and commercial activities has led to ethical dilemmas. Esca's participation in the festival, funded by public money, highlights the blurred lines between journalism and commercial engagements. Experts argue that such practices undermine public trust in the media, which is already low in Romania.
