Tangential: one of Romania's main investigative journals, part of the Swiss Ringier group had just fired its main editors and around 20% of their staff last week, over their reluctance to stop investigating and writing about the local betting industry. The explanation was cost-cutting as the printed edition is no longer profitable, but the journalists claim otherwise, having written extensively about the gambling industry which is a potential advertising partner.
