Gazetelerin ekonomi politikalarına ilişkin haberlerinin seçmen davranışlarını nasıl etkileyeceği konusu, seçim dönemlerinde gazete stratejilerinden biri olmaktadır. Bu çalışma, İspanya'nın son üç genel seçimi öncesindeki tüm haberlerde, ekonomi konusunu iki ana akım İspanyol gazetesi haberlerinin içerik analizi yoluyla nasıl konumlandırıldığını incelemektedir. Çalışmanın amaçları ekonomi ve siyaset temasını içeren haberlerin içerik analizi yoluyla nasıl farklılaştığı ve bu gazetelerin haberleri kamuoyuna nasıl aktardığını tespit etmektir. Bu konuyu cevaplamak için resmi seçim kampanyası dönemlerindeki ekonomi haberleri değerlendirilmekte ve içerik analizine tabi tutulmaktadır. Sonuç olarak iki gazetenin de ideolojik olarak yakın oldukları partilerin iyi yanlarını ortaya koyduklarını, bu sayede özellikle ekonomi haberlerini yorumlayarak vatandaşların oy verme davranışlarını etkileyebilecekleri ortaya çıkmaktadır.
