AdevarulAdevărul (The Truth) is a Romanian broadsheet newspaper, based in Bucharest. With a circulation of over 100,000 daily, it has one of the largest audience of all Romanian-language papers. History Adevărul is the heir of the former Communist official daily Scnteia (The Spark). For only a few days after the fall of Ceauşescu, it appeared as Scnteia poporului (People's Spark), switching to its current name on 25 December 1989. As editor-in-chief through most of the 1990s, Dumitru Tinu oversaw the transition of the paper from a dull Communist style paper to a modern successful press business. After Tinu's unexpected death in January 2003, Cristian Tudor Popescu took over as editor-in-chief. Controversy Adevărul tends to have a Socialist bias, with some nationalistic and anti-monarchy accents. One of the most controversial headlines from its early days was Fire-ai al naibii, majestate (Damn you, Your majesty), a pamphlet against the former King Mihai. Its coverage of the events of the 1990 Mineriad was extremely criticised for being a mirror of the FSN propaganda. To this day, Adevărul remains significantly biased towards the Social-Democrats of PSD (which descend from the original FSN of the early 1990s), and its leaders Ion Iliescu and Adrian Năstase.
