Abstract

The article addresses the role played by generalist regional digital media in the coverage of tax-related events in the Basque Country. To this end, a quantitative analysis is carried out on media coverage of tax-related events in the Basque digital press, with particular attention to the three largest publishing groups. The results show that the press does not grant special relevance to tax matters, except in situations of controversy. Furthermore, the configuration of media treatment is shaped more by the political or economic context than by the ruling party in each provincial council.
