Additional information:

Reporter on Guard/Reporterul de garda was a cloned web publication with a name similar to that of the Reporter de Garda project, where investigative journalists from Ziarul de Garda work. In spite of the similarity and the term ‘reporter’ in the title, its content is totally different from what the readers of the investigations produced by the ZdG team were used to seeing.
