Panel discussion: Diasporas and the Media
MIGRATION AND THE MEDIA
Narratives and perception
Connecting, Communicating and Networking with Diasporas
4-6 May 2016 - Dublin Castle - Ireland
Giuseppe Milazzo, Osservatorio di Pavia
Funded by the
European Union
Key findings on “migration and the media” – Italy and Europe
(Italy: newscasts, 7 nationwide TV channels, January 2005 – December 2015)
(Europe: newscasts, 5 nationwide European TV channels, 2010 - 2015)
(Opinion polls: Italy, 2005 – 2016)
1. There is no clear correlation between the amount of news coverage on migration and the
fear towards migrants: time series of media coverage and opinion polls in Italy (2005-2015)
show independent trends.
2. The negative frame of the news about migration shapes the perception towards the
migrants: migrants are often portrayed in bad news as Crimes and Terrorism (Italian case,
2015)
3. A negative perception of migration is linked to the fear of terrorism: according to 2016
opinion polls in Italy, the negative attitude on migrants increased in relation to the threat to
our identity.
4. The increased fear of terrorism partly caused a negative perception on migration: opinion
polls in Italy (2009-2016) show a significant increase in the fear of terrorist attacks.

(Italy: newscasts, 7 nationwide TV channels, January 2005 – December 2015)
(Europe: newscasts, 5 nationwide European TV channels, 2010 - 2015)
(Opinion polls: Italy, 2005 – 2016)
5. The amount of news on migration rises during the peaks of migration flows: August
and Sept 2015 included most news on migrants in the European newscasts.
6. In 2015, migration became a relevant topic in all 5 European newscasts: an average
of 6% of news was devoted to migration issues.
7. Crimes and War/Terrorism are dangerous frames also in the European networks:
despite differences among TV channels, this practice continues to challenge a positive
perception towards migrants.
8. Alarming news on terrorism and immigration increased in the past 5 years in the
European channels: the highest pick of alarming news in 2015 is recorded on
terrorism.
