description | How do European media cover Brexit? This study by the Reuters Institute for the Study of Journalism in cooperation with the media research specialist PRIME Research UK sheds some light on the intensity and focus media outlets in eight countries outside of the United Kingdom dedicate to the process of the UK’s leaving the European Union. The comparative content analysis examined the complete coverage of 39 media outlets in Ireland, Germany, France, Spain, Sweden, Italy, Greece and Poland over a period of seven months. It found that while the reporting was fairly stable in volume, it was rather dispassionate in tone. In most countries media regarded Brexit as a domestic challenge for the UK, not as a problem for the EU. The exception was Ireland, who is directly affected in many respects. Most coverage revolved either around the progress of the negotiations or centred on issues connected to the economy. |
