Abstract

This paper will analyse the role of the Romanian press in the debate about the migration of the Romanian people, in the context of the freedom of movement for workers in Great Britain. The theme of Romanian migrants in the UK is a public issue which involves, among others, the country image of Romania. Considering these facts, the discussion will focus on the national symbols used by Romanian mass-media, as a response to the campaigns from the British tabloid press, and on the way in which stereo - types of Romanian people, spread in quality and tabloid newspapers (“beggars”, “murderers”, “criminals”, “fraudsters”, “corrupt”) shape the discursive construction of Romania’s nation brand.
