How Can a Journalist Oppose the Censorship?

Many media representatives face various prohibitions on the part of their hierarchical superiors and sometimes also on the part of the media owners when they want to address a topic of public interest. How should a journalist oppose such a censorship?
Irina Gotisan-Sotnic’s guests to Media Azi show – lawyer Tatiana Puiu and former 10 TV moderator Anatol Ursu – are trying to answer to this question.
Watch the show to find out how a journalist can figure out whether this is about a censorship and not the rigours of the editorial policy of the media outlet he/she works for. What can he/she do to defend his/her right to freedom of expression?
How is censorship defined in the national law and why the Criminal Code of the Republic of Moldova provides for sanctions against censorship only for public and not for private media?

And, last but not least, what should journalists do to avoid getting into such situations?
