Modern media tend to lean towards a more cynical framing of politics, contributing to the public’s alienation from political processes. This is reflected in how the European public responds to the European integration process and in the rise of Euroscepticism. Media framing of the European project plays a central role in constructing citizens’ perceptions of the EU and European identity and attitudes towards EU enlargement.
The MEDIATIZED EU project studies how the media discourses are constructed to foster or hamper the European project and how they resonate among the public by focusing on the elite-media-public triangle. We believe it is crucial to reveal the specifics of such mediatization of political discourses on Europeanization across Europe, namely, the so-called Old and New European and Eastern Partnership countries.
