Resum

The research presented in this article analyses the perception of the new draft Statute of Catalonia in the Spanish written press. The study was performed by analysing the editorials and the front pages published in twelve newspapers all over Spain between the 1st of October and the 15th of December 2005. The new draft Statute of Catalonia triggered an oversized debate that converted the media into a true “political arena”, a public locus where the media and politicians displayed a host of cooperative or competitive ideological strategies. The article concludes that the new Statute was harshly rejected in the majority of newspapers, especially in some of the national broadsheets, and it tries to pinpoint the differences among these twelve newspapers. The research also dissects the strong and weak points of the draft Statute in the newspapers analysed.

Key words: media, Statute of Catalonia, political communication, Spanish press
