s o r o s f o u n d a t i o n - m o l d o v abridge was created through these persons’ participationin seminars and conferences, gettinghandbooks and specialised literature.A successful project was the Exchange of JournalistsProgram: Better Perception for the Future, startedin October 1995 and continued in 1996. Three journalistsfrom Moldova benefited from two- three weeksinternships at newspapers and journals fromRomania, Ukraine, Bulgaria; two journalists fromBulgaria, one from Ukraine and one from Romaniahad meetings with personalities from Moldova,representatives of NGOs, local journalists. The invitedjournalists were interested to find events, which werenot covered by the press or were biased - presented,writing for the press in Bulgaria, Ukraine and Romaniaabout Transnistria, the economic reform, criminologicalsituation and social security; the third sector inMoldova, presidential elections, development of thecountry, etc., covering so in Europe the lack ofinformation about Moldova.Polish mass media experience in elections is the mostsignificant in the post-totalitarian countries. Eightjournalists from different political oriented mediabodies came with audio, video and print materialscovering the elections and post-elections period. Atthe meeting participated a group of analysts fromRomania. As the round table was organised beforethe elections in Moldova, this was a chance forMoldovan journalists to analyse their methods andviews, as for Polish and Romanian journalists - anopportunity in covering the lack of information aboutMoldova and Romania. Such a round table can be anefficient tool in monitoring the transition process inEastern societies. The information and experiencetransfer from the more advanced East to a lessadvanced one appears to be an efficient method ofchanging things to better.PROGRAMS INITIATEDBY SOROS FOUNDATION MOLDOVAAnother important program was the Exchange ofRepresentatives of Local Administration betweenMoldova and Slovakia.
