European community states in the national press. A network-analysis attempt

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 'Nepszabadsag' 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 aim of the research is to determine if the profiled network-structure between the states is influenced by the values represented by the papers or, rather, by real (facts and) events.
