With a career spanning more than two decades, Raul Giuglea has built a professional profile at the intersection of journalism, television, public communication and public administration. From his early years in the Constanța press and his experience as a reporter covering complex issues to his work for national television channels and, later, communication roles within government institutions, his professional journey reflects a gradual transition from reporting events to managing institutional communication.
His career in the press began in the early 2000s. Between April 2001 and April 2002, he worked as an editor for Revista Popcorn, where he conducted interviews with personalities of interest to teenage audiences and covered events taking place in Constanța.
Beginning in December 2004, his journalistic work became increasingly focused on local news and subjects with a strong social dimension. At Observator de Constanța, where he worked until June 2005, he served as a reporter for the Social Affairs and Events sections before becoming coordinator of the Investigations section. According to the information included in his CV, the subjects he covered included human trafficking in the nightclub environment and abuse in care facilities for people with neuropsychiatric conditions.
During the same period, he collaborated with Ziarul Cotidianul as its Constanța correspondent. Between June 2005 and April 2006, he worked for Cotidianul Telegraf Constanța, covering police affairs and public safety, as well as issues related to drug trafficking and the trafficking of minors.
The experience he gained in print journalism was followed by a long period in television. From June 2005 to April 2006, Raul Giuglea also worked for TV Neptun Constanța as a reporter. Later in 2006, he briefly joined B1 TV, where he primarily covered defence and internal affairs, as well as social and political issues depending on editorial requirements.
An important stage in national television
In December 2006, Raul Giuglea joined Realitatea TV, where he remained until April 2011. His work focused primarily on internal affairs and defence, as well as the justice system. His CV also mentions his involvement in major journalistic projects requiring the coordination of sizeable teams of journalists.
Between April 2011 and August 2014, he worked as a news reporter for Prima TV, continuing to cover mainly internal affairs and defence and, as a secondary field, justice. During this period, he also produced field reports as part of extensive journalistic campaigns conducted in different regions of Romania.
In August 2014, he returned to Realitatea TV, this time as a reporter for the Events section. In addition to covering current affairs within his areas of specialization, he conducted interviews with public figures, particularly representatives of government institutions.
In February 2016, he joined News.ro – News Agency, where he worked for approximately one year as an editor in the Social Affairs and Events section.
From journalism to institutional communication
The year 2017 marked a significant change in his professional career. In February, Raul Giuglea became spokesperson for the Romanian Ministry of Justice, a position he held until September of that year.
According to his CV, his responsibilities included developing the ministry’s communication strategy, promoting the activities of its subordinate departments, drafting press releases, managing social media pages and coordinating communication with subordinate institutions.
He also contributed to initiatives such as “Justiția pentru tineri” (“Justice for Young People”) and “Ministru pentru o zi” (“Minister for a Day”), as well as managing an internship programme in communication.
Following this institutional experience, he returned to television. From September 2017 until 31 August 2023, he worked for Realitatea PLUS / Realitatea TV as a television host and news editor.
One of the most significant elements of this period was the programme “România la Apel”, whose format he created and which he hosted. Broadcast weekly in prime time, the programme approached current affairs from a socio-economic perspective and featured guests particularly from the academic community. According to his CV, the programme established a notable presence within the channel’s schedule, particularly through its coverage of economic and social issues.
Alongside his work as a television host, Raul Giuglea served as a programme and news editor, with responsibilities including the selection and verification of information, editorial clarity, grammatical accuracy and the public relevance of broadcast content.
Spokesperson in central government
Since 1 September 2023, according to the CV provided, Raul Giuglea has served as spokesperson for Romania’s Ministry of Labour, Family, Youth and Social Solidarity.
His responsibilities include developing the communication strategy and visual identity manual for the ministry and its subordinate institutions, reorganizing communication channels, drafting and editing press releases and graphic materials, and maintaining an open and transparent relationship with journalists covering the ministry’s activities.
His work also involves giving interviews and live radio and television appearances, advising the minister on public appearances, organizing press conferences and public events, and coordinating communication for major projects.
His CV specifically mentions his involvement in the communication activities surrounding the SCI2000 project, described as a major European social inclusion project developed in cooperation with World Bank experts and several institutional partners, including the Ministry of Health, the Ministry of Education and the National Agency for Payments and Social Inspection.
Academic and professional background
His professional career is complemented by academic studies in administration and communication. Raul Giuglea attended the “George Pruteanu” Faculty of Journalism and Communication Sciences at Andrei Șaguna University between 2002 and 2006. His CV indicates that the programme was not completed with a final degree examination.
Between 2019 and 2022, he graduated from the Faculty of Administration and Business at the University of Bucharest, earning a bachelor’s degree in Administrative Sciences. He subsequently completed a master’s programme in Administration and Public Policies in the European Union at the same faculty between 2022 and 2024.
Since October 2025, according to his CV, he has been pursuing another master’s degree, this time in Communication and Public Relations at SNSPA – the National University of Political Studies and Public Administration.
His professional training is complemented by certifications and courses in a variety of fields, including professional training, ECDL digital skills, professional photography, graphic design, operation of unmanned aircraft in the UAS A1/A3 category, and specialist training for journalists reporting from conflict zones. He also holds driving licences for categories A and B.
The digital skills listed in his CV include Microsoft Word, Excel, PowerPoint and Project, as well as CapCut, WordPress, Photoshop, Lightroom, Canva and qGIS. His English-language proficiency is listed at B2 level.
A career bridging two perspectives on information
Viewed as a whole, Raul Giuglea’s career brings together two distinct perspectives on public communication. The first is that of the journalist who seeks, verifies, selects and presents information to the public. The second is that of the institutional communication professional responsible for organizing and conveying an institution’s information to the press and wider society.
His professional journey has therefore taken him through local print media, investigative journalism, field reporting, national television, editorial coordination and television presenting, followed by institutional communication within Romania’s central administration.
Beyond the succession of positions he has held, the professional profile presented in his CV highlights a continuing interest in adaptability and lifelong learning. The personal statement opening the document summarizes this approach: a desire to continuously learn new things, combine accumulated experience with creativity, and discover increasingly efficient ways of working.
After more than two decades of professional activity, Raul Giuglea has developed a career spanning both the media and government institutions, gaining experience in the internal workings of newsrooms as well as in public-sector communication. It is a professional biography in which field journalism, television and institutional communication represent successive stages of the same underlying commitment: communicating information to the public.
