Abstract

Our research aims to discover how Romanian online press describes the coronavirus pandemic in terms of National, European, and International themes by examining online articles through a content analysis of three online newspapers. This initiative contributes to the study of media representation in a situation of global importance and effect. The study shows the media representation at the pandemic start, three days before Romania lockdown. The analysis reveals a strong representation in headlines and images in the National stream. We found that medicine was the main topic represented in Romanian online press, in both headlines and images, followed by themes including politics, internal affairs and socio-cultural subjects. Neutral images had the biggest ratio in the themes, comprising sketch of the virus, images with drugs, blood tests and people wearing masks.
