Abstract

This paper treats how media presented the particular case of Mr. Matteo Politi, an Italian’ fake` plastic surgeon, who practiced medicine in Romanian medical private system. The aim of this paper is to see if Matteo Politi was portrayed as a trickster in Romanian media landscape and what were the frames used by the public and by the media when discussing the case of Politi. The main research questions taken into consideration were: 1. what are the frames used by the journalists and the public when discussing the subject of Politi. 2. what are the differences and similarities between public and media frames? 3. how do they reflect the archetype of trickster? To analyze this, I`ll use qualitative content analysis, applied on two online news websites (adevărul.ro and hotnews.ro) analyzing first, the articles written by the journalists, and then the comments of the readers.
