From a newsroom in Cluj-Napoca, Romania,
Doru Pop ’03 (MA) focuses on more than
just publishing hard-hitting business stories at
Ziarul Financiar, the Romanian equivalent of
The Wall Street Journal. For the 39-year-old
Romanian journalist and university professor,
the mission is deeply personal.
“If you add up my scholarships and training,
the U.S. government has invested about
$200,000 in me,” says Pop, a senior editor at
the newspaper. “My own government
didn’t invest a single cent in
me. I feel that I have a responsibility
to use this knowledge and pass
it on every day at ZF and the practical
aspect of it in my teaching. Our
students are used to theoretical
teaching. I want to give them skills
that they can use now, right here in
Romania.”
