We have used social constructionism as a theoretical perspective in our analysis. A qualitative content analysis was used to analyze 18 articles from different newspapers. In our results we see what characteristics the press gives the problematic player, for example depression andanxiety. The gaming problem is furthermore described by the press as addictive and risky.
