Framing News and Framing Migrants: A Qualitative Study
Year: 2024
Type: article
Abstract: Frames can have an essential role in the (re)production of the ‘shared ideologies’ concerning several social categories, including migrants. The overall aim of this work is to investigate the discursive construction of frames concerning migration, as rhetoric tools (a) connected to editorial orientations; (b) related to both specific events and more general thematic news articles; (c) having socio-cultural and emotional connotations. The qualitative analysis of 235 Italian news articles enabled us to outline different configurations of discursive elements as well as to identify different emotional pathways. Reflections about the critical role of framing in the social knowledge construction are proposed.
