Abstract

As the number of migrants and refugees continues to rise worldwide, so too has antiimmigrant and anti-refugee rhetoric become an increasingly alarming problem that politicizes the topic. This article analyzes and evaluates media representation on refugees/asylum-seekers in two different countries which have distinct media system as Norway and Turkey. The findings show that media coverage of migration is a salient theme. While the ‘visibility’ of migrants is not lacking, the voices that are heard in the news are still political actors after seven years of the ‘crisis’ in both countries. Unexpectedly, this persistent finding has triggered the politicization of this theme in both countries despite their great disparities.

太相似而不不同?土耳其和挪威大众媒体对“叙利亚难民”的报道

随着世界范围内移民和难民人数的不断增加，反移民和反难民的言论也日益成为一个令人担忧的问题，使这一话题政治化。本文分析和评估了挪威和土耳其这两个有着不同媒体制度的国家对难民/寻求庇护者的媒体报道。调查结果表明，媒体对移民的报道是一个突出的主题。虽然移民的“能见度”并不缺乏，但在这两个国家经历了七年的“危机”之后，在新闻中听到的声音仍然是政治行动者。出乎意料的是，这一持续的发现在两国引发了这一主题的政治化，尽管两国存在巨大差异。

期刊介绍： KOME is a theory and pure research-oriented journal of communication studies and related fields. Therefore theoretical researches and discussions that help to understand better, or reconceptualize the understanding of communication or the media are its center of interests; being either an useful supplement to, or a reasonable alternative to current models and theories. Given the connection between theory and empirical research, we are open to submissions of empirical papers if the research demonstrates a clear endorsement of communication and media theories. We are also committed to the ideas of trans- and interdisciplinarity and prefer topics that are relevant for more than one special discipline of social sciences. Articles published in KOME should represent the diversity that comprises the study of communication and related disciplines, regardless of philosophical paradigms and in favor of methodological pluralism. KOME encourage the use of non-sexist language in research writing.
