BIASES AND FRAMING IDENTIFIED

National-centered framing: German media devotes extensive coverage to Germany's 23rd place ranking at the expense of analyzing Bulgaria's victory

Political framing preference: emphasis on the Israel boycott outweighs musical coverage of the contest itself

Limited coverage of other finalists: performances by Romania, Italy, and Finland — which were bookmaker favorites — receive minimal development in German sources
