  Abstract:  The present analysis aims at revealing the current state of the Romanian print media reportage, as this is perceived by practitioners themselves. Research was carried out via in-depth interview, as we believe it represents a qualitative method that best suited our interests. Ten Romanian reporters, awarded at various major competitions – both national and international – were interviewed. The discussions with the journalists revealed that the reportage has suffered significant demise due to lack of financial input and limited time resources, necessary for the production of this journalistic text type. Moreover, the interviewees underlined that in contemporary journalism, obsessed by minimal costs and speediness in delivering information to the public, the survival of this genre depends, on the one hand, on the media editors’ willingness to invest in it, and, on the other, on the journalists’ ability to find the formula to captivate those readers who moved away from print outlets and took refuge in literature.

Keywords: Romanian reportage, contemporary media, in-depth journalism.
