Mainstream newspapers, magazines, broadcasters, and online news outlets provide a window onto society's discourse about migration - at least in countries with high media freedom standards and varied media landscapes. They can be assumed to give a strong indication of the most salient public perceptions of, and issues concerning, migration related topics, and perhaps even allow conclusions about the political, geographical, and social framework conditions in which migration takes place. In order best to work this out and to highlight the most relevant findings, this project adopted a comparative international perspective.
