Abstract

The Yes side was much more visible in the Finnish mass media than the No side before the EU referendum. Among reporters this seemed not to be intentional but rather against the prevailing ethical codes of journalism. In this study I try to analyze the factors and mechanisms that affected the content of EU journalism. In other words, how the media’s agendas were set. The crucial factors here seemed to be news gathering routines, organizational cultures, personal attitudes and general ideological athmospheres among journalists.
