Abstract

This chapter is a qualitative analysis of news about the 2014 European Parliament (EP) campaign and elections in Romania, published in a Romanian newspaper, Evenimentul zilei [The Event of the Day], during the period 25 April–26 May 2014. This study is not intended as a generic approach that will lead readers to definite conclusions about the national media system in relation to European issues. It is a narrow interpretation of the way in which the EP elections were approached in Evenimentul zilei, in terms of news selection (newsworthiness), styles of headline and lead writing, as well as the inclusion of electoral news within the newspaper’s structure.
