abstract = {The dissertation’s aim is to examine the public
acceptance of the European Union in Great Britain,
illustrated on the EU referendum 2016 from the media’s
point of view. The author analyzed five different daily
newspapers - the more serious “broadsheets” The
Guardian, The Times and the “tabloids” The Sun, The
Daily Mail and The Daily Express and how they are reporting
EU related themes and the referendum campaign throughout the
hotly debated british EU referendum 2016. The author wanted
to know what, if, kind of influence they had on the dramatic
result of the EU referendum 2016, in which a majority of the
british voters chose to leave the European Union. Even in a
digitalized world where most of the people get their main
information through the internet, british print media still
plays an important part in forming public opinion and in
playing an important part as an active political
“player”. To prove this thesis on it’s correctness,
the author examined historical events like past national
elections and referendums on british soil, i.e. the
EEC-referendum 1975 or the Scottish referendum 2014. The
examination period was April 16th 2016 to July 13th 2016,
the start of the official referendum campaign until the
resignation of Premier Minister David Cameron. The
Dissertation consists of three main parts: the first
describes the relationship between the United Kingdom and
Europe respectively the European institutions. The history
and the self-image of Great Britain play a major part in
understanding why the British People ultimately voted to
leave the European Union on June 23rd 2016. In this part the
relatively new scientific phenomenon “euroscepticism” is
a central object to describe the rise of populism in the UK
and across Europe. In the second part of the dissertation
the main examination objects are introduced: The Guardian,
The Times, The Sun, The Daily Mail and The Daily Exrpess.
What kind of coverage can be extracted? How are they
reporting European issues relating Great Britain? The
empirical work follows in the third part of the
dissertation: The author was able to connect geographical
lines of where “Leave”-voters and readers of certain
newspapers, especially The Sun and The Daily Mail, are
living and connects these findings with the actual voting on
June 23rd 2016. Finally, the results the author found in his
examination are put in the difficult context of the
british-european relationship. As a conclusion the author
found results, which lead to the assumption that several of
the big british newspapers were major active “players”
in the referendum campaign and at least co-responsible for
the dramatic and hard-pressed vote of the British People to
leave the European Union.},
