Media have a discernable impact on overall societal attitudes towards this phenomenon. Polls show time and again that immigration is one of the most important issues occupying people's minds. This book examines the dynamic interplay between media representations of migrants and refugees on the one hand and the governmental and societal (re)actions to these on the other. Largely focusing on Belgium and Sweden, this collection of interdisciplinary research essays attempts to unravel the determinants of people's preferences regarding migration policy, expectations towards newcomers, and economic, humanitarian and cultural concerns about immigration's effect on the majority population's life. Whilst migrants and refugees remain voiceless and highly underrepresented in the legacy media, this volume allows their voices to be heard.Emigration and immigrationPress coverageEmigration and immigrationPress coverage.070.449305906912d' Haenens LeenJoris WillemHeinderyckx FrançoisNjHacINjHaclBOOK9910476889703321Images of Immigrants and Refugees in Western Europe1912241UNINA
