Romania - Pro TV
ProTv is more than a television station. ProTv is a state of mind. ProTv means to be responsible, to get involved and to help. To pay attention to what happens around you and to take initiative.
In October 2010, ProTV News started a new social campaign, 'Romania Get Well!', about the Romanian medical system. The campaign is a detailed analysis of the Romanian medical system compared to the Spanish and the American ones. The purpose of this campaign is to identify and to show the causes that have lead to the death of the Romanian medical system. ProTV journalists also try to offer solutions.
ProTV is always receptive to Romania's social problems. In 2011, ProTV News developed another major social campaign, 'I Want my Own Parents' to change cumbersome legislation surrounding the adoption of children. Romania has 40,000 abandoned children waiting to be part of a family. More than 75,000 Romanians have signed the online petition asking for the law to be changed. ProTV also sustained the 'Give life' campaign, in order to raise funds for the Polizu Maternity to help prematurely born babies.

ProTV was rewarded by the Romanian NGO's for its social involvement and for the most efficient media coverage of the social issues. ProTV also sustained the campaign developed by the 'Save lives' NGO, and 'Do not ignore me', which have managed to raise the funds to build a treatment center in Timisoara for children who suffer from cancer.
One of Romania's big concerns at the moment is the reintegration of Romani people. ProTV supports OvidiuRom's program of encouraging every child to go to school, no matter what their origin, and strongly believes that education is one of the ways to make reintegration successful.
Together with the Renaissance Foundation, PRO TV fights to rebuild social values and civic responsibility, by developing and implementing educational campaigns and a large variety of programs focused on health, social and cultural problems.
The 'Pink Campaign' is an annual awareness campaign. Its purpose is to inform as many women as possible about the threat of breast cancer. It is one of the most successful social campaigns initiated in Romania.
ProTV also got involved in 'Let's do it Romania' campaign, a social campaign which aimed to get the public to clean garbage piles from areas of the countryside, in a single day. The event involved citizens, local authorities, and private companies, cleaning operators, celebrities and mass-media.
