Between “information” and “entertainment”: framing the Polish EU presidency in Romanian media
Abstract
Drawing on “framing theory”, the study investigated the main actors involved, the issues covered in relation to Poland presidency and their salient attributes in the script structure of each article. The results indicated that informative elements were both in newspapers and in on‑line materials covering the Poland’s
EU presidency. At the same time, the Polish European presidency was not covered in an episodic manner by Romanian media‑either
on‑line or newspapers, the preference for contextual framing being obvious in Romanian media.
