This paper examines the prevailing conflict framings of national (El País and El Mundo) and Catalan (La Vanguardia and El Periódico de Cataluña) newspapers in response to the management of the regional independence conflict (2010-2014). For this, a new conflict framing typology was developed, based on level of substantivity. The study has verified that territorial origin affects, but does not determine, the media's definition of the conflict and its preference for specific territorial models. The alignment between parties and the media appears to be the variable that best explains the orientation (pro-independence, constitutionalist, or federalist) of each newspaper. We have also verified the media's action as a polarizing agent based on territorial model preferences. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]

The act of publishing common editorial articles in newspapers with different ideology and origin was a technique used along Spanish Transition to defend democratic positions in disestablishing circumstances, like terrorism. Once democratic state recovered normality, these practices fell into obscurity. But more than three decades since then, twelve newspapers from Catalunya, among them the leading La Vanguardia and El Periódico, published on 26 of November an extensive editorial defending the Statute of Autonomy of Catalunya and Catalan identity with the title "The dignity of Catalunya". The combined editorial can be a valuable resource to express shared common grounds on facts that require so, nevertheless, this conjunctural agreement should not imply a lack of pluralism [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]
