The BBC World Service has launched its digital offer in Romanian, BBC News Romania, on June 23.\u00a0<\/p>\n
The Romanian-language service offers news and analysis in text and video. It is the BBC World Service\u2019s 45th language service.<\/p>\n
Romanian speakers can access the BBC\u2019s website in Romanian, as well as the service\u2019s channels on\u00a0Facebook and Instagram. Its YouTube\u00a0and TikTok channels will go live later this year.<\/p>\n
The Romanian-language launch comes \u201cat a time of rampant disinformation and a pressing need for impartial, independent news,\u201d BBC said.<\/p>\n
As it went live, the Romanian-language service featured an investigation by the BBC World Service\u2019s\u00a0cyber reporter,\u00a0Joe Tidy, into a ransomware attack on Romanian hospitals, and an article on plans to cull part of the bear population in Romania, among other coverage.<\/p>\n
Available digitally around the world, BBC News Romania content adds to the BBC\u2019s presence in Romania\u00a0and Moldova via BBC Studios: the television channels BBC News, BBC Earth, and BBC First in Romania; and BBC News and BBC First in Moldova. \u00a0<\/p>\n
