Corriere della Sera · January 2026

• portrays Trump as a disruptive force
• uses Trump's own aggressive quotes to show his confrontational style
• frames European and Canadian responses as anti-Trump
• highlights Trump's threats and unilateral actions

The outlet often quotes Trump directly without evaluative adjectives, but the selection of headlines emphasizes his confrontational moves and the opposition he generates, creating a skeptical framing. The entity's own quoted content is aggressive, but the outlet's stance toward him is critical rather than neutral.

• entity appears mostly as a geopolitical actor in headlines about other countries
• some headlines use neutral or factual language about entity's actions
• entity is occasionally quoted or referenced without strong evaluative vocabulary

The entity (Italy) is not the primary focus of most headlines; coverage is fragmented across domestic politics, foreign policy, and business. Stance is neutral overall because the outlet does not consistently frame Italy positively or negatively, but confidence is low due to the entity's diffuse role.

• portrays Trump as erratic and dangerous
• frames US policy as aggressive and unilateral
• uses negative evaluative language ('follia', 'pericoloso', 'bocciato')
• highlights opposition and dissent against US actions

The entity is 'US' but coverage overwhelmingly focuses on Trump administration; stance reflects criticism of current US leadership, not the country as a whole. Some headlines are neutral (e.g., 14, 23).

• Zelensky quoted directly without distancing verbs
• Focus on Ukraine's defensive needs and warnings
• Mixed with domestic political opposition to aid
• Occasional dramatic framing ('ora più drammatica')

The outlet generally reports Zelensky's statements as factual and urgent, but also includes headlines critical of Ukraine aid from Italian politicians and a neutral tone overall. The entity is Ukraine as a country, not a single leader; coverage is mostly factual with slight sympathy for Ukraine's defensive position.

• Zelensky quoted directly as authoritative source on war developments
• Zelensky's warnings and conditions treated as newsworthy and credible
• Occasional distancing via scare quotes or critical framing (e.g., 'sgrida')
• Headlines foreground Zelensky's agency and dilemmas

Headline 7 and 19 use scare quotes around 'sgrida' (scolds), introducing mild critical distance, but overall the outlet amplifies Zelensky's statements as legitimate news and frames his position sympathetically in headline 21 ('dilemma', 'ora più drammatica'). The stance is mildly positive because the outlet treats Zelensky as a credible actor whose warnings and conditions are taken seriously, despite occasional distancing language.

• frames Russia's war as a strategic failure or 'longest war'
• uses distancing or critical labels like 'flotta ombra russa'
• quotes Putin but often in context of obstacles or criticism
• juxtaposes Putin with authoritarianism and 'guerra infinita'

Coverage is mixed: some headlines neutrally report diplomatic meetings (e.g., #5, #7), but several use analytical/evaluative language that implies criticism of Russia's war strategy and Putin's position. The outlet does not consistently delegitimize Putin, but the overall framing leans skeptical rather than neutral or positive.

• distancing verbs like 'presenzia', 'conferma', 'non indietreggia'
• critical framing of Putin's war strategy ('guerra infinita', 'non sa come vincere')
• juxtaposition with authoritarianism (Cercas column)
• neutral factual reporting of diplomatic meetings

Several headlines are neutral factual updates on meetings; the negative stance is clearest in analytical pieces and opinion columns, not in all news briefs. The entity's quoted content is often critical of others (e.g., Ukraine, Europe), but the outlet itself maintains a skeptical distance.

• Trump's statements reported with direct quotes and minimal evaluative language
• European and Danish responses given equal weight and framing
• Use of 'minaccia' (threatens) and 'retromarcia' (backtrack) for Trump's actions
• Historical context provided without editorializing

The outlet reports Trump's aggressive rhetoric and European pushback neutrally, but the selection of headlines includes both Trump's threats and European countermeasures, suggesting balanced coverage. No consistent positive or negative framing toward GL (Greenland) as an entity; GL is primarily the object of geopolitical contestation, not an actor with its own stance. The entity is a country, not a spokesperson, so stance is inherently neutral unless the outlet takes a side in the dispute, which it does not.
