President of the Supervisory and Development Council: \u201cThey Were Weak\u201d"},"content":{"rendered":"\n

Several programs by the Moldova\u00a01 public TV channel no longer appear on the screen, and some former and current employees of the institution criticize the administration for its selective attitude. Journalist Tatiana Cojocaru, author and producer of the \u201c\u00cen al\u021bi papuci\u201d show at Moldova\u00a01, which was canceled several months ago, suggests that the TV channel\u2019s management takes some steps which are \u201cnot quite decent or professionally explainable.\u201d In a post published on her Facebook page, which gathered more than 100\u00a0comments, the journalist\u2019s other colleagues also criticize the administration. Contacted by Media Azi, Arcadie Gherasim, president of the TRM Supervisory and Development Council (SDC), affirms that the canceled shows were \u201cweak,\u201d and the public channel was preparing to launch other media products this spring.<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u201cI\u2019m fine, and I\u2019m still employed at Moldova 1, which is a public channel, by the way. I\u2019d like to remind you of this fact for those who regard it as a private one, where they can afford making not so decent or professionally explainable \u2018steps\u2019 and \u2018actions.\u2019 I realize I\u2019ll be under even a greater pressure than I used to be before publishing this post, but I\u2019ve got nothing to conceal, unlike the others who hold management positions in our public institution,\u201d Tatiana Cojocaru wrote in a post on Facebook.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Contacted by Media Azi, the journalist affirmed that there was \u201cdiscrimination against its staff members\u201d at TRM. \u201cI worked at my project with only one camera, and when I found out that Mihai Scobioala, the camera operator who had agreed to make the show under such circumstances, was leaving, I asked rhetorically, in a post on Facebook, whether our management from TRM realized that good people were leaving because the salaries were low,\u201d the journalist says, specifying that these events took place in the summer of 2022. According to Tatiana Cojocaru, she was later asked to delete the post, but she refused to. In total, 37 editions of the \u201c\u00cen al\u021bi papuci\u201d show were aired.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u201cThe project was supported by Corneliu Durnescu; he himself declared it was an original and quite a good show,\u201d Tatiana Cojocaru says. She claims she addressed the TRM management asking to be \u201cremunerated as they had promised,\u201d but they demanded from her to make fewer shows. \u201cInstead of three or four editions, let\u2019s make two. Why? Was that said in order to please Mr. Turcanu (editor\u2019s note: Vlad Turcanu, TRM general director) who did not approve of this project? Why did they maintain this project if this product was not good enough?\u201d the journalist asks.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Arcadie Gherasim, president of the SDC of TRM, confirmed to us that the \u201c\u00cen al\u021bi papuci\u201d show was canceled along with the \u201cMeseria\u0219ii\u201d show, and \u201cthe other broadcasts left together with their authors.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u201cWe keep an eye on the situation; I stay permanently in touch with the general director. We have tough discussions sometimes; we have discussions for and against those who prefer acting as victims. I\u2019d like to say the following: the shows aren\u2019t canceled randomly, as it might seem. If a show is weak, it gets canceled, as was the case with Ms. Solomca (Tatiana Cojocaru \u2013 editor\u2019s note). She was probably offered to revise her project. She was offered to be transferred to \u2018Mesager\u2019 where there was a lack of staff, but she refused to. Those who claim they are being bullied are not right, and the statements about those who seem to be favored are untrue. The Council initiated intensified staff training. We aren\u2019t worried about some people who are dissatisfied, we\u2019re worried about the fact that we don\u2019t have good people for the new projects,\u201d Arcadie Gherasim emphasizes, specifying that TRM plans to launch several new shows this spring.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Media Azi also tried to contact Corneliu Durnescu, Moldova 1 director and TRM deputy general director. In a telephone conversation, the journalist stated he would not comment on the staff\u2019s Facebook posts; as to discussing the prospective reform, it requires a separate visit to the channel\u2019s headquarters. Corneliu Durnescu, appointed in 2021, declared even at that time that he \u201cknew how a TV channel should be made,\u201d yet conducting TRM was \u201ca challenge\u201d for him.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

On the other hand, Liliana Vitu, president of the Broadcasting Council (BC), referred to the Code of Audiovisual Media Services, which no longer provides for the BC\u2019s prerogative to intervene pursuant to the amendments made in 2022.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u201cThe relations between the BC and Moldova 1 are content-related: no violent language should be used, the content should be based on at least two sources, there are advertising provisions, etc. These issues are our subject of observation. However, we do not monitor any sorts of managerial activity. This is what the Supervisory and Development Council exists for. Previously, we already had a conflict related to the Labor Code, and we replied to the employee that we had no legal basis to intervene at that moment, and we no longer had any supervisory functions. In this case, we have no powers or attributions. Moreover, even if we make a phone call, we could be accused of interfering with the editorial policy. From the legal point of view, this situation should be discussed at the SDC, and after that, the SDC should file a report to the Parliament. Eventually, this issue could be discussed by the commission in charge or at the plenary session,\u201d Liliana Vitu declared.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

In 2022, Media Azi published an article<\/a> about the resignation of the director of the Radio Moldova public station. The reason was different management concepts and disagreements regarding some topics broadcast on the radio. Vlad Turcanu, Teleradio Moldova Company general director, refused to comment on the \u201cinternal debates\u201d at TRM for Media Azi at that time.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
