Constantin Marin, the head of Teleradio-Moldova, said the surveys show the number of consumers of information and of programs on Moldova 1 and Radio Moldova has increased considerably. Priority is now given to the public, not political interests. The censorship was eliminated and the plurality of opinion is promoted. A number of public debate programs were launched in the period. Some of the sittings of the Parliament and different public events are broadcast live. The emphasis in the news programs was shifted from presenting the political leaders in a favorable light to objectively presenting the reality.
