The higher journalism education in the Moldovan Soviet Socialist Republic (MSSR) was initiated in the ’60s of the last century, as a specialty at the Philological Faculty at Chisinau State University (KSU). It was more created and developed as a process of ideological education than as a process of professional training of the workforce. Despite this, it was between 1966-1991 that the basis of the modern concept of the Moldovan higher journalist Education was established, as the paradigm of study process in journalism was worked out. The conceptualization of the higher journalism education in the MSSR was made possible thanks to creating and the formation of the teaching staff that provided the training of the journalists to be; to the creation of a methodological-instructive fund for journalism sphere; to the initiation of the first national scientific research in the journalism field, including the regional one. The role of these processes is especially important, because they determined the specifics of the higher journalism education in the MSSR, this way founding the modern Moldovan university journalism education.
