Corriere della Sera · März 2026

• reports Meloni's actions and statements factually
• includes critical or embarrassing episodes (burned effigies, gaffe, fuorionda)
• quotes Meloni authoritatively on policy
• covers both positive claims (record female employment) and controversies (Santanchè, referendum)

Coverage is largely factual and balanced, but includes some items that could be seen as critical (e.g., fuorionda, embarrassment over Mattarella remark, burning of images). No consistent positive or negative editorial voice toward Meloni; stance is neutral overall.

• portrays Trump as impulsive and strategically flawed
• highlights internal dissent and contradictions
• uses distancing verbs and critical framing
• emphasizes risks and negative consequences of his actions

Some headlines report Trump's actions neutrally or quote him, but the overall selection foregrounds criticism, internal opposition, and strategic missteps, indicating a skeptical stance.

• frames Iran as a threat or danger
• uses distancing or delegitimizing labels like 'regime' and 'pasdaran'
• highlights internal repression and instability
• quotes dissidents and foreign officials critically toward Iran

Headline 1 quotes Ahmadinejad at length without distancing, which could be seen as neutral or slightly positive toward him, but the overall bundle treats the Iranian state and leadership with skepticism and often hostility. The outlet's own editorial voice (e.g., headline 22) is analytical but not celebratory.

• entity appears mostly in domestic political coverage
• some headlines use neutral or factual language
• occasional critical or skeptical framing (fuorionda, referendum mobilization)
• no consistent positive or negative editorial stance toward the country

The entity is Italy as a country, not a specific government or leader. Coverage is broad and includes politics, economy, sports, and culture. Some headlines about Meloni (head of government) show neutral or slightly critical framing (e.g., 'fuorionda'), but this does not extend to the country as a whole. Overall stance is neutral.

• quotes critics and analysts who question US strategy
• uses distancing verbs like 'canta vittoria' (claims victory) and frames Trump's actions as reactive or trapped
• highlights negative consequences (tax flight, Fed chaos, war escalation)
• occasional neutral or factual reporting on US actions

The entity is 'US' as a country, but coverage focuses overwhelmingly on Trump administration. Some headlines (e.g., 7, 12) report US statements neutrally, but the overall selection foregrounds criticism, setbacks, and negative framing of US policy. The outlet does not use consistently delegitimising language about the US as a nation, but is skeptical of current US leadership and strategy.

• focus on his death and the operation that killed him
• use of distancing and delegitimizing language ('il topo supremo')
• emphasis on internal succession struggles and regime weakness
• framing Khamenei as a strategic adversary whose removal is a blow to allies

The outlet does not celebrate his death explicitly but reports it as a fait accompli; the tone is analytical and detached, not hostile in a propagandistic way. However, the consistent focus on his killing, the operational details, and the use of derogatory quotes from dissidents ('il topo supremo') indicate a negative stance toward the entity.

• portrays Putin as exploiting crises for advantage
• uses distancing verbs like 'prova a sfruttare' (tries to exploit) and 'si sente vincitore' (feels victorious)
• highlights vulnerabilities and setbacks for Putin
• frames Putin's actions as strategic maneuvering rather than principled

The outlet's stance is consistently skeptical toward Putin/Russia, not celebratory. Headlines 5, 6, and 14 exemplify the framing of Putin as opportunistic and self-interested. Headline 2 and 3 reference Anna Politkovskaja, a critic of Putin, reinforcing a critical perspective. No headlines are overtly hostile or delegitimizing, but the overall tone is analytical with a critical edge.
