This article explores local media reporting about South Sudanese humanitarian migrants moving into a Victorian rural country town in Australia. In contrast with often cited negative media reporting on migrants, the newspaper articles examined positively construct South Sudanese humanitarian migrants as Australian citizens, attempting to reduce anxiety and uncertainty about the presence of these strangers in a country town without prior experience of African migrants. The news reports, however, also hint at discursive power relations within the community; locals and newcomers exist amid the supportive work of local volunteers. News stories illuminate layered cultural power defining the new relationship yet also indicate everyday possibilities for building micro-level inter-ethnic relations.

当地报纸报道了人道主义移民在澳大利亚乡村小镇的定居经历

本文探讨了当地媒体对南苏丹人道主义移民迁入澳大利亚维多利亚时代乡村小镇的报道。与经常被引用的负面报道有关移民的负面媒体相反,报纸上的文章积极地考察了南苏丹人道主义移民是否为澳大利亚公民,试图减少对这些陌生人在一个没有非洲移民经验的乡村小镇中存在的担忧和不确定性。但是,新闻报道也暗示了社区内的话语权关系;在当地志愿者的支持下,当地人和新移民得以生存。新闻故事阐明了定义新关系的分层文化力量,同时也表明了建立微观民族间关系的日常可能性。
