As applied to the EU context, the concept of mediatization is understood as a relationship between the media and political institutions that causes societal transformation. In this sense, the public sphere is seen as a mediating infrastructure of debates of political legitimacy. In the context of mediatized politics, European public opinion is fragmented and bound to national public spheres. EU public outreach efforts are increasingly filtered and shaped by the media of its member countries. Due to multiple implementation issues, the EU has not been able to offer its members an attractive and unifying identity narrative promoting European values. This article offers some conceptual solutions to the problem.</p></abstract><trans-abstract xml:lang="ru"><p style="text-align: justify;">В статье обсуждается медиатизация публичной сферы Евросоюза и ее влияние на реализацию информационных кампаний в государствах - членах ЕС. Автор рассматривает медиатизацию в ЕС как отношения между СМИ и другими социальными институтами, ведущие к трансформации общества в соответствии с медийными правилами. Публичная сфера исследуется как медиатизированная инфраструктура для дискуссий о политической легитимности. В контексте медиатизированной политики европейское общественное мнение фрагментировано и привязано к национальным общественным сферам. Усилия ЕС по информированию общественности все больше фильтруются и формируются средствами массовой информации его стран-членов. В итоге ЕС не смог предложить своим членам привлекательный и объединяющий нарратив идентичности, продвигающий европейские ценности. Предлагаются концептуальные решения этих проблем.</p></trans-abstract><kwd-group xml:lang="en"><kwd>Europeanization</kwd><kwd>The European Union</kwd><kwd>mediatization</kwd><kwd>the public sphere</kwd><kwd>strategic communication</kwd></kwd-group><kwd-group xml:lang="ru"><kwd>европеизация</kwd><kwd>Европейский Cоюз</kwd><kwd>медиатизация</kwd><kwd>публичная сфера</kwd><kwd>стратегическая коммуникация</kwd></kwd-group><funding-group/></article-meta></front><body></body><back><ref-list><ref id="B1"><label>1.</label><mixed-citation>Hardt, H.
