Transilvania Times is a digital publication dedicated to quality journalism about Romania, with a special focus on Transylvania — a region with a distinct cultural identity, a fast-growing economy and a complex political life that deserves professional coverage.
We publish daily in Romanian and English, covering politics, technology, business, culture, education, health and sport. Every article goes through a rigorous editorial process that includes fact-checking, copy-editing and a final review before publication.
Our mission is simple: to give readers accurate information, substantive analysis and local perspectives they will not find elsewhere. We do not publish clickbait. We do not publish articles without verifiable facts. We do not mix news with opinion.
Ownership and editorial independence
Transilvania Times is a regional news publication from Transylvania, Romania. The newsroom operates independently of any political affiliation, party or interest group.
The publication is funded through advertising, editorial partnerships and digital services. No sponsor, client or commercial partner influences editorial content. Sponsored articles are clearly labelled and kept separate from editorial content.
Technology and transparency
Transilvania Times uses artificial-intelligence tools in the editorial process for source aggregation, research and writing assistance. All published material is verified, edited and approved in line with our editorial standards before publication.
Author attribution reflects the editorial desk responsible for the final form of each article. Each author has a thematic specialisation and a distinct style that is consistent across their signed material. We consider transparency about the tools we use to be an obligation to our readers.
