This thesis focuses on the construction of media image of
presidential election campaigns in the United States in the
selected Russian print media. Our goal is to describe, analyse
and interpret mechanisms of the construction of media image in
four daily newspapers that are claimed to be pro-Kremlin. In
the thesis, we follow one month periods during three election
campaigns in the years of 2000, 2004 and 2008. The results
obtained from quantitative content analysis served us to
compare and identify transformations of media image of American
presidential election campaigns in the analysed dailies.
