| description | Over the last couple of decades, Europe has undergone fundamental
political transformations that have challenged old stereotypes about the
‘essence’ of the European identity. This article analyses televisual
narratives of the 2004 enlargement of the European Union, turning the
analytical spotlight on two of Europe’s largest news broadcasters: BBC World
and Euronews. The article focuses on how Europe is remembered in the news,
but also how references to the past are used to explain what Europe is today
and what it might look like in the future. |
