The Role of the European Projects in the Area of Education Revealed in Local Media

Nowadays, we all can observe that the most important fields in media are covered by politics. Therefore, the social, cultural or educational fields, discussed in this article, have a hard time to gain the interest of journalists. This is mainly a characteristic of the Romanian national media. But in the local media, this characteristic is changed a little bit, because in small communities, readers are interested in all the activities which involve them in a certain way. In the last period, education goes hand in hand with its interest illustrated at the European level, and the European projects have become popular and attractive at teachers' level. But it is certain that in Romania, the educational system must benefit of the European intervention. Therefore, the outputs of the European projects have become widely used sources, especially by teachers. The impact of those projects is illustrated in media, being also easily exposed in the on-line journals. The paper analyzes how European project have been disseminated in the local on-line media and what impact they have produced in the community. Examples from Gazeta Dambovitei. ro are presented - as the most important on-line newspaper in Dambovita County, with specifications on illustrating the results of the European FP7 project, in which Valahia University Targoviste is partner: "PROFILES Professional Reflection-Oriented Focus on Inquiry-based Learning and Education through Science", and its proposed Continuous Professional Development programme: "Education through Science".
