CONSIDERATIONS ON THE RIGHT OF REPLY AND RECTIFICATION

The right of reply through the media is useful when damage occurs by broadcasting and print media. In Romanian law, the audiovisual media is governed distinctly from the written press. Until the entry into force of Law no. 95/2012, the right of reply for the information contained in written media was governed by the provisions of art. 72-75 of the Press Law of the Socialist Republic of Romania no. 3/1974. Currently, the provisions in this matter are contained in the Code of Ethics for journalists. The legal provisions on the right of reply and rectification in broadcasting are contained in the Broadcasting law no. 504/2002, the Decision no. 220/2011 of the National Broadcasting Council and the Law no. 41/1994 on the organization and functioning of the Romanian Radio Broadcasting Corporation and the Romanian Television Company.
