Unda liberă– primul trust media studențesc. Apariție, concept și dezvoltare

Abstract

This paper highlights the role and functioning of the student press entity “Unda Liberă”, which emerged on the media market in the Republic of Moldova 30 years ago. Over the years, “Unda Liberă” has undergone various stages of development and transformations in the delivery of journalistic content, technical and editorial team. In the context where the press for young people and students is a less explored segment in the media space of our country, and the proposed research contributes to the profiling of this category of press, the main elements of the conceptualization of journalistic formats specific to students and young people are highlighted. Thus, the Faculty of Journalism and Communication Sciences of the State University of Moldova played an essential role in the development of Unda Liberă, providing students with modern resources and equipment to develop their journalistic skills.
