ABSTRACT To understand public opinion about immigration in Europe, one has to understand the media’s role in it. We present a literature review on research on media discourse on immigration and their effects. Despite differences in the way immigration and migrant groups are represented in European media, we can observe common patterns. Migrants are generally under-represented and shown as delinquents or criminals. Although, media framing differs based on specific migrant groups the discourse is focusing on, immigration coverage is often negative and conflict-centred. Frequent exposure to such media messages leads to negative attitudes towards migration, may activate stereotypical cognitions of migrant groups, and even influence vote choice. In addition to discussing these issues in depth, the present review also focuses on comparative findings.

欧洲媒体对移民及其影响的论述：文献综述

摘要 要了解有关欧洲移民的公众舆论，必须了解媒体在其中的作用。我们对关于移民及其影响的媒体话语研究进行了文献综述。尽管移民和移民群体在欧洲媒体中的表现方式有所不同，但我们可以观察到共同的模式。移民通常代表性不足，表现为违法或犯罪。尽管媒体框架因话语所关注的特定移民群体而异，但移民报道通常是负面的且以冲突为中心。频繁接触此类媒体信息会导致对移民的消极态度，可能会激活对移民群体的刻板认知，甚至影响投票选择。除了深入讨论这些问题外，本次审查还侧重于比较结果。
