Abstract

Drawing on social movement and media literature, this article examines what factors influence coverage of the Corsican nationalist movement in Western European news coverage. A content analysis of 317 newspaper and magazine articles shows that representations and standing of the movement's claims is contingent on prevailing French politics. Contrary to expectations of the dominant literature, violence does not increase media attention.
