Media representation of refugees and migrants in Turkey
Turkey’s transformation from a transition country to a host country has not always been easy. Examination of the main discourses in migration reporting is a key to understanding the rising anti-refugee and migrant statements at the societal level in Turkey. Hence, this research by Media and Migration Association aims to provide a general framework illustrating the main representation trends in the reporting of migration-related topics by various media organizations in Turkey.
Firstly, a timeline of major occurrences in the context of migration has been formed. In line with this timeline, a unique monitoring framework combining quantitative and qualitative media content analysis methods has been designed and implemented. During the monitoring process, approximately 200 pieces of news content have been monitored and 77 of these have been included in the research sampling.
