Who Controls the Story of Change? A Data Dive into Poland’s Energy Debate
Researchers used advanced text-mining techniques (BERTopic) to analyze nearly a decade of Polish press coverage on the shift to cleaner energy. The study maps the competing narratives, revealing which political and social actors—from government bodies to industry groups—have successfully shaped public discourse and claimed ownership over the “energy transition” story from 2015 to 2023. This analysis provides a clear, data-driven picture of how media framing influences national policy debates on a critical issue.
