Journalist Horia Alexandrescu had spoken, during the DCNews interview, about fake news.
“Fake news is an international phenomenon at this time. The ones who give the news to the public on sources are the most wrong. The concept of news on sources is dramatic, from our point of view as journalists. If you don’t take it or say where it comes from, it’s a disaster. (…) When we say by sources, you have one of three sources, from here come intoxication, falsification of reality and a lot of other things “, said the journalist.
In the same interview, he also talked about the first steps in television: “Tele7ABC was formed and Mihai Tatulici was the director there, at the beginning. He did four talk shows with four moderating journalists, they were Nistorescu, Gilda Lazăr, it was me, and there was someone else, so we were four moderators. It was Mircea Badea, who did the show there in the morning, with Teo, they also started there. That’s how we started, after the proposal from Tatulici. “
