Białoruś, czyli teatr jednego aktora? Zjawisko ramowania na przykładzie wizerunku Białorusi w wybranych tytułach prasowych
Belarus or a one man show? The phenomenon of framing on the example of the image of Belarus in selected newspapers

Summary/Abstract: In recent years, the phenomenon of framing has repeatedly drawn the attention of numerous scholars who work covers the fields of both media and political sciences. The media presentation of different problems can influence their social reception. The purpose of this paper is to analyze the image of Belarus created by the journalists of the most popular opinion-forming weeklies in Poland. The author’s goal is to examine whether Belarus is portrayed on the basis of clichés, such as President Alexander Lukashenka’s non-democratic rule, violations of human rights and the apathy of Belarusian society. Emphasising negative information and a unidimensional description may potentially influence Polish public opinion. Therefore, it is worth identifying the recurrent interpretational framework which might contribute to better understanding the phenomenon of framing events in the mass media.
