For princely states, see Mediatization.

In communications studies or media studies, mediatization or mediatisation is a term used in the exploration of how events (particularly conflicts) are represented in the Mass media. Various news media (and various journalists) can give different accounts of the same situations. These different treatments can be described as mediatizations.
