Abstract
Calls for a referendum on UK's membership in the EU entered permanently into the political debate, and several surveys showed that many British citizens may like to leave the European community. This article examines the portrayal of the EU in the British press during the eurozone recession. It presents analysis of news sections in four newspapers: The Guardian, The Times, The Sun and The Daily Mail, which was conducted between November 2011 and July 2012. The research shows inaccuracies in the coverage of the eurozone crisis that lead to a very unfavourable portrayal of the EU as an artificial, undemocratic organisation dragging Britain and the world into financial problems.
