What it actually is

Recorder makes long-form investigations and documentaries in Romanian, reader-funded and free to watch, covering the justice system, politics and social issues. The narration is articulate and unhurried compared to broadcast news, which makes it a friendlier first step into native content than a TV bulletin while still being fully authentic. Free across its site and YouTube channels. Firmly advanced material: no subtitles for learners and dense civic vocabulary.
