“If people think that the journalist is honest, if they get to a certain level of trust, then the people will understand that what they [say] to the journalist will be reflected accurately,” said Vlad when talking to a group of journalism students Monday.
Vlad, who grew up in communist Romania and worked there as a journalist for 10 years and then helped re-build the Romanian media after the fall of communism, now works through the Cox Center to train journalists in developing countries.
Always working to help improve the quality of journalism around the world, Vlad is heading to the Republic of Moldova to continue to instruct more journalists Friday.
Vlad also emphasized building levels of trusts with journalists in other countries and how it helps break down barriers. “Once we reached that level of trust there were no taboo topics,” he said.
