2012, Master of Arts, Miami University, Political Science.
The Nabucco and South Stream gas pipeline projects and the two coalitions promoting them are in a political competition. In this political rivarly, the media has been playing a crucial role. Media is the best way to secure influence over public opinion and this factor becomes extremely important in an era when public opinion plays an increasingly important role in international relations. In this paper, content analysis of two major newspapers, Russian Vedomosti and British The Financial Times, was done in order to analyze how the two coalitions are trying to manage media coverage. As a result, it has been identified that messaging, reporting about “major breakthroughs,” and leaks to the press were all used as tools to influence public opinion.
