The popularization of information is one of the most remarkable changesundergone by journalism in the past twenty years. Among the factors most decisive forthe popularization of the information system is the tendency to narrativize contentsand, in general, the architecture of information flows. On these premises, the researchdescribed by the article investigated the visibility and contents of the dominant narrativefurnished by the press system in Italy in regard to the economic and financial crisistriggered in the USA during 2008 by the bankruptcy of Lehman Brothers. The analysis,conducted on the time-span September 2008/December 2011, examines the propensity,extent, and forms of popularization of a traditionally «hard» topic but which, in themedium period, acquires exceptional features suited to spectacularization. The firststep of the research consisted in quantitative analysis of the visibility trend of narrationof the crisis by the main daily newspapers (Corriere della Sera, la Repubblica and LaStampa) and by the most important weekly news magazines (L'Espresso and Panorama).The second step consisted in analysis of the narrativization of the information flowproduced by the press using the event/controversy/theme sequences model of analysis.The research identified the presence of five levels of popularization of the crisis: thefirst, correlated with the coercion of media logic and the main narrativization strategiesemployed by journalists, the second deriving from the framing of the theme, the thirdfrom the didactization of the contents, the fourth from the entertainmentization of theobject «crisis», and the fifth from its lexicalization.
