After the protests against Rosia Montana mining project started, it also started raining with commercials favoring the exploitation. On the other hand, some TVs informed their public about the protests with serious delays .
The ads promoting the mining at Rosia Montana were broadcasted tens of times on Romanian TVs since the protests against the project started, on September 1st. A TV monitoring made by CNA shows the ads were broadcasted by 13 Romanian channels
CNA debated the way anti-RMCG protests were reflected on TV and also the ads broadcasted in connection with the mining project.
The monitoring also shows the moment when TVs started broadcasting information from the anti-RMCG protests.
If Realitatea TV, B1 TV, TVR, Digi 24 and Pro TV relayed info from the protests from day one, not the same thing can be said about the other monitored stations. Antena 3 started broadcasting info on protests the 2nd day after they started, Prima TV – in the 3rd day, Romania TV did the same from September 8th, while Antena 1 and Kanal D gave info on protests for the first time on September 9th
