【 摘 要 】

This study assesses the thematic structure of the news about the European Union, in a Romanian quality newspaper. It is meant to make up for the scarcity of specialized literature and adequate theories on EU coverage in Romanian media. To this end, we monitored the “Adevarul” daily for one month (January – February, 2013). As apparent in previous research in European national media (focused on older EU member states), EU coverage has had a low share in the economy of the analyzed media outlets. The same is true about “Adevarul”. Relying on a corpus of articles published in “Adevarul”, our objective is to reveal and hierarchize the main thematic areas embedded in this paper editorial strategy, in terms of visibility and public impact, through a statistical analysis of salience indicators. This research was substantiated by the theories and typologies of news framing, which enabled us to explain the differences in visibility of the analyzed thematic structures. This study stands for a section of a cross-national project that attempts at organizing the previously used indicators and discovering new zones of interest in EU coverage, such as the interrelation between thematic structures and cultural differences in the news approach across national media outlets.
