    Aspecte legale privind utilizarea dronelor în producția jurnalistică [Articol]
    (CEP USM, 2025) Guțu, Vitalie
    The article examines the legal aspects of drone use in journalistic production, highlighting their role in modern journalism. Drones enhance journalists’ practical skills, improve content quality, and increase media competitiveness by providing unique aerial perspectives. The study defines key terms like “unmanned aerial vehicle” (UAV) and outlines EU Regulation2019/947, which governs safe drone operations in European airspace. In Moldova, drone use requires permits from the Civil Aviation Authority and compliance with privacy, safety, and ethical standards. Drones are increasingly utilized in investigative reporting, event coverage, and disaster documentation, offering innovative visual formats. However, legal restrictions, such as mandatory insurance and permissions for filming near borders, must be adhered to. Ethical considerations, including transparency and respect for privacy, are critical to responsible drone journalism. The article concludes that while drones are transformative tools for media production, their use must align with robust legal and ethical frameworks to ensure safety and public trust.

    Studii monografice și istorii locale în context publicistic [Articol]
    (CEP USM, 2025) Dumbrăveanu, Andrei
    With the establishment of the democratic regime in the Republic of Moldova, the rights and freedoms of citizens are also being promoted. Interest in local history is growing for the restoration of the truth covered for decades by the propaganda of the totalitarian communist regime through disinformation, distortion of facts and manipulation for political purposes. More than 200 locations have so far been honored with monographic studies and local histories. In 2017, each of the 1,674 localities, attested at that time, was presented in a publicistic version in the encyclopedic series Localities of the Republic of Moldova. We are presenting a classification of the monographic studies and local histories developed by scholars, cultural figures, publicists, and historians who, guided by patriotic feelings, undertook a civic commitment to convey in words the historical truth of the localities, aiming at their sustainable development in a future free from hybrid wars and special informational psychological operations.

    Diferențe de gen în percepția fenomenului publicării prădătoare în mediul academic din Republica Moldova [Articol]
    (CEP USM, 2025) Cuciureanu, Gheorghe; Țurcan, Nelly
    This study investigates gender differences in the perception of predatory publishing among researchers in the Republic of Moldova. The research employed a quantitative, descriptive, and exploratory design, based on an online survey. A total of 539 valid responses were collected (333 women, 206 men), reflecting a broad representation of the academic community. The findings reveal that while both genders are aware of the phenomenon, women reported higher levels of awareness and greater concern about its negative impact. Men, although less informed through institutional sources, expressed greater confidence in their knowledge. Key reasons for engaging in predatory publishing include career advancement pressure, lack of scientific literacy, and the desire for rapid publication. These motives showed limited gender variation. The results highlight a shared recognition of the threat predatory publishing poses to academic integrity and reputation. The study underscores the need for targeted institutional and educational measures, tailored to local academic culture and gender-related nuances, to mitigate the spread of predatory practices.

    Problematica sărăciei în materialele jurnalistice de opinie din presa moldovenească [Articol]
    (CEP USM, 2025) Bulicanu, Victoria
    The research focuses on studying an extremely actual problem in the Republic of Moldova, which unfortunately affects a large part of the population - the problem of poverty. In recent years, the press, in its attempt to provide the public with speed in presenting journalistic materials has ignored complex opinion materials, which, as a rule, require effort, time and good documentation from the author to reflect topics of public interest. At the same time, we found that the issue of poverty was one of the most reflected topics in opinion materials in the two editions of the regional press, addressed in the study - Unghiul and Observatorul de Nord in 2024.
