| Popis | The overall purpose of this study was to investigate and compare cross-national differences and similarities in the use of news sources, and the extent to which the use of news sources was correlated with the media’s framing of politics and the EU. To briefly summarize the results, they show that across countries, official sources clearly dominated in the media’s coverage of the 2009 EP election campaigns; that domestic politicians was the dominant source category overall; that international official sources and, even more noteworthy, spokespersons for the EU were rather seldom included as sources, and more seldom than domestic official sources; and that official sources as a category is rather heterogeneous and masking important differences across sources within the overall category of official sources. The results have also shown that both ordinary people and journalists were regularly included as sources, although there were great variations across countries. In terms of the correlation between source use and the framing of politics, the results showed a positive correlation between the presence of journalists as sources, and a negative correlation between the presence of domestic official sources, and the framing of politics as a strategic game. Finally, in terms of the correlation between source use and the framing of EU, the results suggest a positive correlation between the presence of journalists as sources and a positive framing of the EU; and a negative correlation between the presence of spokespersons for the EU and a negative framing of the EU. |
