The media inform the public, help political and social actors
communicate with each other, influence perceptions of pressing
issues, depict topics and people in particular ways, and may shape
political views and participation. Given these critical functions
that the media play in society, this book asks how the media
represent migrants and minorities. What information do the media
communicate about them? What are the implications of media coverage
for participation in the public sphere? In the past, researchers
studying migrants and minorities have rarely engaged in systematic
media analysis. This volume advances analytical strategies focused
on information, representation, and participation to examine the
media, migrants, and minorities, and it offers a set of compelling
original analyses of multiple minority groups from countries in
Europe, North America, and East Asia, considering both traditional
newspapers and new social media. The contributors analyze the
framing and type of information that the media provide about
particular groups or about issues related to migration and
diversity; they examine how the media convey or construct
particular depictions of minorities and immigrants, including
negative portrayals; and they interrogate whether and how the media
provide space for minorities' participation in a public sphere
where they can advance their interests and identities. This book
was originally published as a special issue of the Journal of
Ethnic and Migration Studies.
