• The challenges faced by qualitative journalism are numerous, and the effects are clearly obvious at society level, when information consumption from various sources is increasing; however, we find that only some of the users are qualified to undertake and analyze data and journalistic content. There are numerous pressures registered by professional journalism, equally as much as creating journalistic content regarding the rules of the trade can be a difficult task for the non-professional author. One of the first forms of such pressure was generated by the economic crisis in 2008, imposing a restructuring of media organizations. Another valence of pressure consists in the inability and slowness of active journalists to adapt to the rigors of digital media. A main focus and of major importance is the re-tabloidization phenomenon in Romanian and international media, on every branch: written press, radio,television, and online platforms. The technological revolution has been a favourable breeding ground for commercial television channels, less inclined to the rigors of deontology. A further development is the citizen journalism, varied in representation and extremely active. This study aims for the complicated mass media – citizen journalism relation, as well as the challenges of qualitative journalism.
