11 Jan Discussing Ukraine in V4 mainstream media: the future vis-à-vis European integration
Since the Russian invasion of Ukraine, media coverage of the country has increased significantly. Interpreting and commenting on events, putting them in the news and shaping the debate about Ukraine's future prospects in relation to European integration has thus become an important part of the responsibility of most mainstream media.
"The study presented consists of a media analysis and focus group discussions. CEID conveyed the narrative analysis of four chosen Hungarian media outlets to identify the key messages used concerning Ukraine and Ukraine's future EU membership. Following this, focus group discussions were organized to map the Hungarian respondents' opinions about the same topics. This way we could showcase the Ukraine-related messages in the media outlets with the highest reach, and the potential recipient side of them. The Hungarian results significantly differed from the results of all three other countries, showing a one-sided, strongly negative image of Ukraine, deeming absolutely non-desirable and impossible that Ukraine could ever join the EU. The focus group discussions corresponded to this as the respondents depicted Ukraine in a negative light and repeated the propagandistic messages."- Dorka Takácsy, Research Fellow, CEID
However, as the war drags on, the V4 citizens' awareness of the conflict has diverged. At different times, some topics have been given more emphasis than others, making the quality of coverage often incomplete or unconvincing. Some countries emphasise the autonomy of reporting, which in turn allows for broad and in-depth coverage, while there are regimes that narrow the information and use the topic of war to produce stories for domestic purposes.
