Abstract:

The relationship between policy, public opinion and the media has been investigated extensively in the U.S. context, yet still remains an overlooked question in the European context. This project attempts to address this deficiency in the political communications literature through an examination of the agenda-setting functions of print media in the United Kingdom and France on the latest round of EU enlargement. Regarding the first-level agenda-setting effects, this study asks to what extent the frequency of the coverage of enlargement influences how important people consider it to be. Regarding the second-level agenda-setting effects, it examines if the frames the media apply to enlargement – political, economic, and socio-cultural consequences of enlargement – translate into patterns the public uses to interpret it. To provide answers to these questions, this paper conducts a cross-national comparative study in Britain and France by combining quantitative content analysis of The Times, The Guardian, The Mail, Le Monde, Le Figaro, and Libération and Eurobarometer survey data from January 2002 to May 2004.
