Keywords:

Abstract
This work analyses the press coverage of the Tunisian revolution (December 2010 – January 2011) by means of a quantitative content analysis. In order to do so, four newspapers have been scrutinized – ABC, El Mundo, El País and La Vanguardia – focusing on theoretical aspects related to the framing-arabislamic world pairing. The research carried out confirms that Tunisian democratic experience has been related form the point of view of its actors’ responsibility (government, army, demonstrators, etc.), conflict and human interest. Moreover, this event stands as a turning point and puts an end to a previous period of little informative interest and superficial treatment.Downloads
