Adevărul

Adevărul

Adevărul, pronounced [adeˈvərul] in Romanian, translates to "The Truth." This daily newspaper is based in Bucharest and has a rich history that dates back to its founding in Iași in 1871, with a reestablishment in 1888 in Bucharest. Adevărul served as a key publication for left-wing viewpoints during the time of the Romanian Kingdom, promoting democratic ideals, land reform, and universal voting rights. Under the leadership of editors Alexandru Beldiman and Constantin Mille, the paper gained a reputation for its strong criticism of King Carol I. Over time, it embraced a republican and socialist perspective, which often put it at odds with the authorities of the Kingdom. In the early 20th century, Adevărul, alongside its sister publication Dimineața, was known for innovative journalism and set several local and international records, competing fiercely with the right-leaning Universul throughout the interwar years. In 1920, Adevărul launched its well-regarded cultural supplement, Adevărul Literar și Artistic. However, by the 1930s, the paper's anti-fascist stance and the Jewish heritage of its new owners led to negative campaigns against it from far-right factions. The antisemitic government of Octavian Goga banned both Adevărul and Dimineața after coming to power in 1937. After World War II, Barbu Brănișteanu revived Adevărul, but it faced censorship under Communist Romania and was ultimately shut down again in 1951.
