The article is devoted to examining the peculiarities the mass media evolution in the Republic of Moldova in the last 30 years. Following the dynamics of the development of this phenomenon offers the possibility to outline a multivalent picture of the ever-changing media, in the conditions of socio-political transformations and the formation of the new media reality. The determining factors that influence the metamorphoses of media processes in connection with societal changes are elucidated. Particular attention is paid to revealing the conditions under which, in the initial period, but also over the years, the essential change of the media sphere took place, channeled on a new, democratic path. The analysis of the innovative approach of the media in the Republic of Moldova, of the functions of the media in the new circumstances is undertaken, specifying the components of the new model of realization of media institutions with power and society.
