This article investigates the relationship between tax evasion and corruption, in order to determine if there can be found a significant connection between the two, and in order to test previous research results that found tax evasion as being positively related to corruption. Moreover, the research examines if tax evasion could be predicted based on data regarding corruption. To this extent, theoretical hypothesis on how corruption influences tax evasion were developed and empirically tested. The research was carried on a cross-country data for the 28 European Union's Member States for the period 2012 -2017 and it used IBM SPSS Statistics 20 in order to analyze and interpret the results. The main finding is that corruption is statistically significantly related to tax evasion and that such relationship is a positive one, as highly corrupt countries also register high levels of tax evasion -as measured by the proxy values used. These findings could be of great use for policymakers all around the world, as a policy against corruption could have major implications on tax evasion and vice versa.

The main processes that have an impact on the entrepreneurial media are innovation, promotion of products and services, and the element of novelty. Through technological progress and the dynamism of labor market development, new entrepreneurial directions have emerged, which have seen a rise through the development of media content. Media and entrepreneurship determine new content techniques, resulting in new services and products. This paper aims to highlight the correlation of the media industry with that of entrepreneurship, these being in a close relationship, which results in innovation, creative content, and business development. To this extent, a bibliometric analysis was performed on a corpus of scientific papers, from the Web of Science platform, focusing on media entrepreneurship to determine the current state of knowledge in this area. Furthermore, the analysis reveals the most researched themes and the relevant terminology used. As a selection protocol of the scientific material for media a series of keywords were used, that is: “media”, “internet”, “radio”, “TV”, “newspapers”, “social media”, “journalism” and for entrepreneurship we followed the keywords: “business”, “entrepreneurship” and “entrepreneur”. The results of the analysis showed that the most frequently used terms in media entrepreneurship research studies are: Internet, development, social medium, and business model. In addition to that, media and entrepreneurship seem to be closely researched concerning innovation, economic development, and education.
