| Title | Media framing and representation of inter-ethnic relations. A case study on the Babes-Bolyai University debate |
| Summary | It has been stressed by the studies done on this topic that the media represent a stage on which identities are being negotiated. In the Romanian case, after the system change of 1989, the media were also undergoing a transition period that was supposed to transform the old state controlled channels of mass communication into democratic and independent institutions. At the same time, the Hungarian minority in Romania was going through a process of defining its identity in the new democratic context. I will look into the issue of how much commercial potential do the topic of the break-up of the Babes-Bolyai University has and what are the frames used to report on these events. The analysis will focus on the representations of the minority group and their demands in this case, the importance that the topic had on the agenda of the eight publications monitored and the mechanisms with which the representations of the two sides were constructed. |
