Romania news API
Coverage about Romania from 376 distinct publishers, in whatever language
it was reported. Pass country=RO to filter.
What coverage of Romania looks like
Bursty publication clustered around announcements, EU funding decisions and parliamentary sessions, with long quiet stretches between.
The media landscape
National dailies, a regional press, and a business layer covering EU funding and infrastructure. Publication clusters heavily around institutional events, so the same query run two weeks apart can return very different volumes without anything having changed in the underlying situation.
Does this cover articles published in Romania, or about it?
About it. The country filter matches the places an article is about, so a wire
piece about Romania filed from London is in scope and a Romania outlet writing
about somewhere else is not. To filter by where the publisher is based, use
publisher_country instead, and combine the two when you want domestic
reporting about the domestic market.
How do I filter news to Romania?
A seven-day window returns either a flood or almost nothing depending on where it lands. Widen it rather than concluding the coverage is unreliable.

What catches people out with Romania coverage?
Publication is bursty, clustering around announcements and parliamentary sessions with long quiet stretches between, so a fixed short window returns either a flood or almost nothing depending on where it lands. Widen the window rather than concluding the coverage is unreliable. Coverage of EU funding follows disbursement and reporting deadlines rather than events, producing predictable volume spikes that are administrative rather than newsworthy. The business press is concentrated in very few outlets, so losing one from a filter set removes a disproportionate share of the available reporting.

Which outlets cover Romania most?
The most active publisher on this country is news.yam.md at roughly
6% of the coverage, and the three busiest
— news.yam.md, business24.ro, ziare.com — carry about 11% between them.
That share is worth reading before the volume figure: concentrated coverage
means a large result count can still be a small number of newsrooms. Combine
country with source to narrow to publishers you trust,
or with language to separate domestic reporting from international.

What this market is best for
Best for EU funding, infrastructure and Black Sea regional affairs. Weakest for financial markets and technology, both concentrated in very few outlets. The bursty publication rhythm makes it a poor choice for continuous monitoring and a good one for periodic review.
Narrowing further
Two constraints do most of the work on this axis. Adding a language separates domestic reporting from international commentary about Romania, which an unscoped country query returns together. Adding a signal range with a lower bound narrows to articles written in a particular register — supply disruption, financial stress, conflict — rather than to articles that merely mention the subject.
