In the context of media developments world-wide including convergence of media system, journalism homogenization, diversification of political communication, it is important to understand how these processes will affect (trans)formation of the European public sphere. There has been no European news agenda across media in Europe so far, except for rare cases when European Union becomes an issue of top importance across Europe. Most often these are sensational events, crises or official meetings of the EU representatives. On the other hand, journalists are confronted with their audience, which is poorly informed and has inadequate knowledge about the EU. The aim of the article is to reassess the major challenges of European social imaginary by addressing key measures to be taken to communicate Europe effectively.

Deja, kol kas nėra susiformavusios europinių naujienų darbotvarkės, todėl galime stebėti tik pavienius atvejus, kuomet ES tampa žiniasklaidos priemonių tema Europos mastu. Šiais atvejais naujienų šaltiniais tampa sensacingi įvykiai, krizės, oficialūs ES atstovų susitikimai. Kita vertus, žurnalistai orientuojasi į auditorijos poreikius, neišsamias jos žinias apie ES. Straipsnyje siekiama įvertinti svarbiausius Europos kaip naujo socialinio vaizdinio ypatumus, aptarti esamas ir potencialias problemas, įvar­dyti priemones, kurias galima panaudoti veiksmingiau perduodant informaciją apie Europos aktualijas.

The Gender Equality Index is a comprehensive measure for monitoring progress in gender equality across the EU over time. It measures gender gaps and takes into account the context and different levels of achievement of Member States across a range of relevant policy areas. It shows the different outcomes of EU and national policies for women and men and contributes to the development and implementation of evidence-based policymaking in the area of gender equality. The Gender Equality Index 2017 provides scores for 2005, 2010, 2012 and 2015. This report gives a specific focus to describing the methodology underpinning the Gender Equality Index. It presents the different steps taken in the computation of the Gender Equality Index 2017 as well as the changes made to the methodological and measurement framework in the process of updating the Index.
