Morphology

politicism + in + the + media

The phrase is largely compositional—'in the media' clearly locates something within news outlets, and the headpiece evokes 'politic-' + '-ism', so a reader can infer a political quality or bias present in media. However, 'politicism' is a rare/nonstandard formation and its precise nuance (bias, politicization, or simply political content) is not fully predictable for a B1 learner, so the transparency is only partial.

Etymology

Politicism in the media creates a clear image: political ideas, the politicism, are poured into newsrooms, the media, like ink mixing into clear water and changing how the news looks. That's why it means 'the presence of political bias or influence in news reporting'.
