Summary/Abstract: PSYCHOLOGICAL READING OF EDITORIALS CONCERNING TERRORIST ATTACK AGAINST AMERICA ON 9/11 IN BULGARIAN PRINTS: II. THE CASE WITH "DNEVNIK" - "TRAGEDY SHOOK THE WORLD" / We are trying to develop a specific psycholinguistic and phenomenologi-cal methodology of understanding nature of terrorism as reflected in mass media. We have started by a study attempting to answer the question: how people from different cultures are making sense about terrorism described in editorials of official prints. As a model we analyze newspapers editorials reflecting terrorist attacks against the US on 09/11 in 5 different cultures: Bulgarian, American, Russian, Spanish and English. The major sources of information included in our methodology are the following: (1) The number and pattern of the editorials relating to the attack and its aftermath, (2) The literary styles in which the editorials are written, (3) The nature and number of historical references used, (4) The specific figures of speech noted as salient, and (5) The overall structure of themes emerging from the year long period of editorial reflection. In this article we are presenting mainly the results from social and psychological analysis of "Dnevnik" editorials. We also compare some data concerning both Bulgarian prints — "Sega" and "Dnevnik" to show that beside cross-cultural differences there are different mass media policies within one and the same native culture.
