Carmelia Albu\u2019s Reaction<\/strong>"},"content":{"rendered":"\n

The activity of the Ombudsman for the Audience from Teleradio-Moldova (TRM) is inefficient, and \u201cthe solutions are delayed.\u201d This is the conclusion of the public provider\u2019s Supervision and Development Council (SDC) included in the SDC\u2019s activity report for 2022. Moreover, during the previous year, the Ombudsman presented only one monthly activity report, \u201cstill refusing to fulfill her obligations.\u201d While the TRM management staff does not provide any further details about her activity, Carmelia Albu says she is perplexed by these statements.<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n

According to the SDC activity report<\/a> published on Teleradio-Moldova\u2019s official page, among the arrears registered for the previous year, two refer to the TRM Ombudsman\u2019s service. The first case is related to the decision dated March last year, according to which Vlad Turcanu, the institution\u2019s general director, was given the task of identifying the solutions regarding efficiency of the Ombudsman\u2019s activity. \u201cThe solutions are delayed,\u201d it is mentioned in the report. According to the second decision dated April 2022, Carmelia Albu was recommended to prepare monthly reports in accordance with the powers assigned to her by the regulation approved in July 2021. Ombudsman Carmelia Albu \u201cfiled a single monthly activity report to the SDC at the meeting held on April 19, 2022, still refusing to fulfill her obligations. The SDC President informed the company\u2019s general manager about this fact,\u201d the document also specifies.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Arcadie Gherasim, the SDC President, has told Media Azi that, though he has known Carmelia Albu for 40 years, he is reluctant to assess her professional activity, summing up the issues stipulated in the report. Alexandrina Carpu, TRM\u2019s head of the HR department, has refused to comment on the Ombudsman\u2019s activity, explaining that she has been working for the company for less than a year and, above all, that she does not intend to make a decision until the assessment to which all the TRM employees are currently subjected to is completed. \u201cWe received a complaint from the SDC stating that the Ombudsman had not filed the activity report. For this reason, a professional skills assessment is currently taking place, and after that, a decision regarding Carmelia Albu\u2019s further activity will be made.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Vlad Turcanu has also refused to provide any details. \u201cA committee is assessing her performance, and any opinion I might have as a member of that committee would be subjective. There are two eventual scenarios: a decision may be made according to which Ms. Albu would be granted at least three months to improve her results, according to the Labor Code, or another decision can be made, stating that there is no problem about her activity,\u201d Turcanu has told Media Azi.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u201cI\u2019M PERPLEXED\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n

In her response, Carmelia Albu claims she has not taken part in any SDC meeting where her professional activity could be discussed: \u201cI\u2019ve no idea of any decision in this regard. It\u2019s just someone\u2019s opinion; I\u2019ve had no warnings about my activity. I\u2019m also perplexed by this decision,\u201d the Ombudsman has answered us briefly, without providing any additional information on her activity at Teleradio-Moldova during the last year.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

According to the TRM Ombudsman Service\u2019s report for 2022<\/a>, the two basic activities practiced by the Ombudsman\u2019s Service last year were organizing a meeting with the news journalists from Moldova 1 channel on April 14, together with the members of the Press Council of the Republic of Moldova, on the topic titled \u201cEthical Journalism in Times of Crisis,\u201d as well as monitoring news broadcasts by Moldova 1 on the war which had started in Ukraine for ten days, also in April.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The Ombudsman\u2019s Service at Teleradio-Moldova was founded upon the initiative of the media NGOs in 2013. The service has the status of an autonomous entity and is a self-regulatory structure within the institution. Among other things, the Ombudsman is in charge of answering questions from the TV and radio audience, analyzing eventual complaints from program consumers, and controlling journalistic correctness of the programs broadcast by the channel. Moreover, the available reports for 2022 do not include any exact figures regarding the complaints received by Carmelia Albu.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

In March 2021, Carmelia Albu informed Media Azi that the TRM Ombudsman\u2019s Service was about to launch<\/a> two shows, on Moldova 1 and Radio Moldova, to analyze the issued reported by the TV and radio audience regarding the quality of broadcast media products at the public stations. However, only one edition was broadcast<\/a>.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
