European Community states in the national press

A network analysis attempt

Abstract

The study analyses the relations between the member states of the European Community and the two most significant daily papers of the national press, the „Népszabadság” and the „Magyar Nemzet” with a network approach method. The countries featured in the articles have been defined as the actors of a connection network. The target of the research is to find an answer to the question, if the profiled network structure between the states is influenced by the values represented by the papers or rather by real (facts and) events.
