''Seara'' (, meaning "The Evening") was a daily newspaper published in Bucharest, Romania, before and during World War I. Owned by politician Grigore Gheorghe Cantacuzino and, through most of its existence, managed by the controversial Alexandru Bogdan-Pitești, it was an unofficial and unorthodox tribune for the Conservative Party. Its involvement in politics sparked numerous scandals, the longest of which came during the neutrality period (1914–1916).

In 1914, it was purchased by German businessmen, but continued to register mediocre success in comparison with its pro-Entente competitors. In late 1916, after Romania decided in favor of the Entente, ''Seara'' was disestablished. Noted for publishing the biting satirical pieces and art chronicles of Tudor Arghezi, ''Seara'' was closely assoc ... [...More Info...] [...Related Items...] OR: [Wikipedia] [Google] [Baidu] |
