“…Personalisation is in turn achieved through "dramatisation" (constructing politics as a drama around a person) and "intimisation" (framing politics through emotions). The framing of political leaders in these ways respond to commercial demands (in the news media sector) and consequently contribute to a general "simplification" of politics in which the public is considered to identify and connect with political leaders rather than with policy (Mancini 2011).…”

This article examines how the mediatised context of foreign policy provides new opportunities for political leaders to both frame and project their own leadership role to new audiences. The past ten years have witnessed a sharp rise in political leaders' use of new social media to communicate on a range of foreign policy issues. We argue that this new media context of foreign policy, combined with a bolstered leadership mandate, has been central to the construction of a more visible public leadership role for the EU High Representative in the post-Lisbon era. Departing from recent scholarship on performative leadership and new media in International Relations theory, we develop an original theoretical framework drawing on Erving Goffman's dramaturgy of impression management. We employ the concept of "leaderisation" to analyse how mediatisation shapes the leadership process in terms of personification and drama to enable new forms of interaction with followers. We apply this framework in an illustrative case study focusing on the process of negotiating the EU Global Strategy. This diplomatic process provided the High Representative Mogherini with a stage on which she could frame herself in a central leadership position visà-vis European citizens to mobilise greater legitimacy for the EU as a global actor.

“…Al aña-dirle el sufijo "-ción", que denota "acción", se obtiene un concepto que hace referencia a un proceso que está teniendo lugar. Como indica Mancini (2011), dicho sufijo se usa para casi todas las nuevas tendencias, como la globalización y espectacularización, entre otras, y "hace hincapié en que estamos frente a un proceso de cambio" (p. 48).…”

“…Scholars proposed the opposite argument. Mancini (2011) argued that media follow their discursive logic that lead to privileging and emphasizing individual figures, and turning them into characters of stories. Thus, the political personalization is the product of the symbolic nature of media.…”

This study assessed the media visibility, a composite measure of attention and prominence, of China's President Xi Jinping's first 3-year governance in The New York Times. The assessment was based on the content analysis of 317 news articles focusing on Chinese President. Qualitative content analysis was used to identify three major frames, 12 mid-level frames, and 18 subframes. Quantitative content analysis was used to measure the attention, prominence, and the combination of these two parameters of these frames. The findings showed that The New York Times employed multiple frames to report Chinese President, and the two frames with the highest media visibility are (Domestic) Campaigns and Strategies and China-United States (relations), rather than Human Rights. Keywords Attention, Chinese President, governance, media visibility, prominenceWith the rapid economic growth, China has become the second largest economy in the world and exerted increasing influence on global affairs. Several studies showed that Western media paid more attention on China and employed a much broader range of frames to report China than before (e.g.
