The 2015 refugee crisis, and the ensuing policy debates towards a common European migration policy have held the attention of Romanian news media as well, as one of the most challenging issues for the European Union in the last decade. Even though Romania is not situated directly on the main routes on which refugees arrive to European countries, the issue was highly salient for both the news media and the public. In this case, the role of the media is even more important, as the main interface through which the public comes into contact with the related issues.
The present research focuses on (1) how the European Union and the member states were pictured by media related to the refugee crisis and the EU refugee and migration politics in the time frame: April 2015- December 2018 and (2) on mediated public diplomacy of the European Commission and of the European Council.
