Abstract [en]

News media reporting on immigrant communities are often blamed for being biased or prejudiced. News organizations – especially tabloids and alternative right-wing news media – have been criticized for their insensitivity while covering immigrants, and for failing to adapt their reporting style to accommodate the new, globalized, multicultural immigrant societies. Instead, they tend to focus on stereotypical negative aspects of immigrant communities, often portraying them in a disproportionate or unfavorable light as “the other.” This chapter presents an overview of a selection of previous studies on the media representation of immigrants in the West. It further explores various approaches to reporting on immigrants and examines how each approach contributes to a specific narrative construction. The chapter concludes by advocating for a more “constructive approach” in journalism to effectively represent a multicultural society, as well as discussing the relevance of such an approach for educators.
