Abstract The European refugee crisis is an important topic on media, political, and public agendas. Due to its scope and impact, its continuing prevalence on the media-agenda and the divisiveness of public debate, new research is needed to understand the media’s framing of the issue. This study inductively analyzes framing of the refugee crisis of 2015–2016 by two Dutch newspapers. Portrayal of the refugee crisis consists of ten different frames and counter frames. The frames are communicated on the level of the refugee, on the level of the crisis as an event, and on a societal level. Results show that recent reporting on the refugee crisis is relatively nuanced and portrays the crisis from a variety of perspectives. Framing changes following certain transitory events, but only slight differences were found between popular and quality papers.

在欧洲要塞中的爱与惧：构筑欧洲难民危机

摘要欧洲难民危机是媒体，政治和公共议程上的重要话题。由于其范围和影响，其在媒体议程中的持续流行以及公众辩论的分裂性，需要进行新的研究来理解媒体对这一问题的看法。这项研究归纳分析了两家荷兰报纸对2015-2016年难民危机的框架。难民危机的刻画包括十个不同的框架和反框架。这些框架是在难民层面，作为事件的危机层面以及在社会层面传达的。结果表明，有关难民危机的最新报道相对较为细微，并从多种角度描述了这场危机。某些短暂事件后的帧变化，但是在流行论文和高质量论文之间只发现了很小的差异。
