Abstract: Media have become over time an important source of information concerning religious problems and thus, they shape opinions and trigger attitudes. Communicators can frame a social issue and these frames, in turn, influence beliefs about who is responsible for causing and addressing a problem. The purpose of this paper is to use attribution theory to examine press coverage in Romania dealing with issues concerning religious leaders.
