| Sumario: | The withdrawal of the United Kingdom (UK) from the European Union (EU) bloc has been one of the most turbulent political events that the region has experienced in recent years. The referendum's outcome in 2016 marked an essential fracture in one of the most successful integration projects that has occurred worldwide; furthermore, it served as a battlefield, in discursive terms, where different views collided regarding the permanence of the UK in the European bloc. The media actively participated in the political contest through biased representations of events (disguised as objective news) that would influence the construction of public opinion in one way or another. rough Framing Anlalysis, this work studies how four British newspapers (Daily Mail, Mail on Sunday, Daily Mirrorand Sunday Mirror) framed the debate on Brexit to consolidate a specific view of the problem. It was possible to identify three significant strategies in a total of 60 headlines among the four papers under study: the framing of the economic crisis, the intruder, and the "panic" project. |
