Tematica editorială a gazetei poporale Opinca (1885)

Towards the end of the nineteenth century, the rural press became increasingly well-represented in Transylvania. Even though some newspapers published for peasants managed to appear for an extended period, such as Cărțile Săteanului Român [The Books of the Romanian Peasant] (1876–1886) or Șezătoarea [The Social Soirée] (1875–1882), others were published for short periods. In our study, we have focused on a publication in the latter category, trying to present the themes through which it tried to attract rural readers. A research desideratum was related to the intention to follow to what extent the themes of interest to the rural environment were not reached and whether, despite the short period in which it was published, it succeeded in achieving this desideratum. The study is segmented into two parts. The first part deals with the technical-administrative issues of the publication, while the second part deals with the topics in the published articles.
