News about the EU Constitution

Journalistic challenges and media portrayal of the European Union Constitution

This multi-method study investigates how news media in Britain, Germany, and the Netherlands covered the Convention’s preparation of the European Union Constitution. The study draws on interviews with Brussels correspondents and a content analysis of television news and national newspapers. Results show that the Constitution entered and vanished from the media agenda, the tone of the coverage was predominantly negative, and the issue was reported from a European angle. Explanations of these results come from journalists’ relations with EU institutions, their home news organizations, and their perception of the audience.

Key Words: Brussels correspondent • Constitution • EU Convention • EU news • media analysis • referendum • television news
