Abstract: Abstract The financial crisis started in 2008 generated aftershocks that lasted years and affected economies everywhere, among other things, leading to a deeper erosion of the public trust in central banks. This research examines the manner Romanian online media framed, in 2016, the reaction of the National Bank of Romania (NBR) to the “giving in payment” law initiated by a member of the second largest party, and one of the most visible topics involving the central bank during post-crisis period for the local audience. The study sheds light upon the way media uses different frames—focusing on conflict, economic consequences, responsibility, human interest, and ethical issues—in making sense of the crisis to their audiences. The research here concentrates on a quantitative content analysis of a corpus of 420 articles from four highest-ranked financial and generalist online media: zf.ro, bursa.ro, adevarul.ro, and hotnews.ro. The main findings indicate a clear prevalence of economic and conflict frames.
