Abstract

The purpose of the research is to determine the specificity of the media coverage of the European integration processes in Ukraine by the newspaper «The New York Times». The relevance of the research acknowledges the necessity to adjust the directions of the information and analytical support of Ukraine’s European integration processes at the external level. A thorough analysis of the trends in the process of presentation of the country’s communication arena in the international media is a top priority for both Ukrainian scholars and governmental institutions. The proposed study features an attempt to summarize the specificity of the coverage of Ukrainian events in 2013-2018 by one of the most influential global media - the newspaper “The New York Times” and its online version in particular. The image, formed by the analyzed resource, is impactful both at the global and national levels, which is based upon the citation and influence of nyt.com. The separation and review of each component of this image contributes to a better understanding of the geopolitical processes related to Ukrainian matters. The results demonstrate a significant shift towards the increase in a number of publications and the coverage level of Ukrainian issues after the US elections in 2016.
