Jurnalul National

Jurnalul National was founded in 1993 by the two journalists Marius Tuca and Dan Diaconescu, who are now well-known media entrepreneurs in Romania. The newspaper's political commentaries are partially provided by members of the "nomenklatura", people who held key administrative positions in the countries of the former Eastern Bloc. In 1995 the publication passed into the ownership of the Intact Media Group, which belongs to the family of Dan Voiculescu, a controversial businessman and former high-ranking politician. He spent three years in prison for money laundering and fraud. The paper represents the interests of its owner, Voiculescu.
