“…In Israel, like many other countries around the world, the refugees’ struggle is based on their recognition as such; a recognition that depends on the diffusion of refugees’ stories to society at large, and influenced by the framing techniques that are employed by news outlets (Tirosh & Klein-Avraham, 2017).…”

“…In addition, recognizing an individual, or a group of people as "refugees" requires the acceptance of a specific historical narrative that affirms their stories-war, genocide, and political oppression. Hence, the refugees' struggle for recognition is basically an effort to construct an agreed-upon "story" about who they are, as well as how and why they arrived in the host country (Tirosh & Klein-Avraham, 2017).…”

“…On the other way around, national authorities in charge of protecting refugees’ rights, try to convince the public to which they are accountable that the refugees’ stories are false, inaccurate or irrelevant, thus they are not entitled to be recognized as refugees. In other words, the debates regarding refugees and their rights are memory contestations (see also Tirosh & Klein-Avraham, 2017).…”

This study questions the role of media in the formation of society’s memory regarding the asylum seeker struggle in Israel. Through analyzing 180 news articles published during the daily coverage of the refugees’ protest in Israel between December 2013 and January 2014, this study offers an opportunity to explore the mediated environment that also shapes the refugees’ situation in Israel and the role of the printed press in a memory contestation. The study demonstrates that while traditional media are a site in which different versions of the past, even including the refugees’ own version, are being contested and evaluated, they are not enough to guarantee that refugees will gain recognition as such, because traditional media maintain the power to shape and construct the debate in ways that do not always support the refugees’ claims.

“…Images are easier to interpret by the public as they do not require previous knowledge of representation rules, making them the perfect tool to frame, transmit, reinforce, or construct ideas and perceptions side European borders, such as in Israeli media, which not only represent refugees as a security threat but also seem to reify them using formal photographic techniques (Tirosh;Klein-Avraham, 2019). Canadian media also represent immigrants as criminals or terrorists, although, in this case, the victimization frame comes into play (Stelian, 2014).…”

The Mediterranean migration crisis especially affects three Southern European countries that represent the main gateways into the continent for immigrants and asylum seekers: Spain, Italy, and Greece. In recent years, feelings of rejection towards migration have been increasing in all of them, accompanied by a simultaneous increase in the number of hate crimes. Similarly, the representation of these groups in European news media seems to have worsened, especially since 2015, the year in which the migratory crisis significantly worsened. This coverage could be affecting European citizens on emotional, cognitive, and attitudinal levels and thus should be rigorously analyzed. The present study is based on the theory of framing and, specifically, on visual framing to analyze the connotative representations of immigrants and refugees spread by the reference media of Southern Europe through images, paying more attention to the negative frames in particular, which represent displaced people as a burden or threat. Specifically, 360 photographs taken between 2014 and 2019 and published by the main media in Spain, Italy, and Greece were subject to content analysis. The findings show a temporal increase in the negative visual frames of immigrants and refugees in the analyzed media. Differences were also found between countries, with Greece presenting a higher percentage of images with negative frames, as well as a greater predominance of this type of frame compared with the other countries. Finally, differences were identified between the media themselves, including the Greek Kathimerini, a media outlet that stands out for the amount and prevalence of photographs framing immigrants and asylum seekers as a burden and threat. Resumen La crisis migratoria del Mediterráneo afecta especialmente a tres países del sur de Europa, que son la principal puerta de entrada de inmigrantes y solicitantes de asilo en el continente. Estos países son España, Italia y Grecia, y en todos ellos los sentimientos de rechazo a la migración han ido en aumento en los últimos años, acompañados por el incremento simultáneo de los delitos de odio. De igual forma, la representación de estos grupos en los medios informativos europeos parece haber empeorado, especialmente a partir de 2015, año en el que la crisis migratoria se agravó mucho. Esta cobertura podría estar afectando a las actitudes de los ciudadanos europeos hacia los desplazados, por lo que conviene analizarla de manera rigurosa. El presente estudio se basa en la teoría del encuadre y, en específico, en el visual framing para analizar los marcos connotativos de inmigrantes y refugiados que transmiten los medios de referencia del sur de Europa a través de sus imágenes durante la crisis migratoria, prestando una mayor atención a los marcos negativos, los que representan a estas personas como una carga o amenaza. Así, a través de un análisis de contenido se examinaron 360 fotografías publicadas por los principales medios de España, Italia y Grecia entre 2014 y 2019. Los resultados muestran un incremento temporal de los marcos visuales negativos de inmigrantes y refugiados en los medios analizados. También se encontraron diferencias entre países, presentando Grecia un mayor porcentaje de imágenes con marcos negativos, así como una mayor predominancia de los marcos negativos que el resto de países. Por último, se identificaron diferencias entre los propios medios, siendo el griego Kathimerini el que destaca por tener una mayor presencia de imágenes con marcos de carga y de amenaza, y una mayor predominancia de estos marcos en sus fotografías.

“…Ahora bien, la mayoría de estudios sobre la representación de minorías en la prensa centra su atención en el aspecto textual de las noticias (Calvo-Barbero y Carrasco-Campos, 2020; Cheng et al, 2009;Cheng, Igartua, Palacios, Acosta y Palito, 2010), relegando a un segundo plano el análisis de las imágenes que acompañan a las informaciones (Domke, Perlmutter y Spratt, 2002;Scheufele, 2004). Lo cual no es excluyente para que en la literatura científica podamos encontrar múltiples contribuciones centradas en el ámbito de los encuadres visuales en las informaciones sobre movilidad humana, tanto a nivel internacional como estatal (véase, por ejemplo, Muñiz et al, 2006;López del Ramo y Humanes, 2016;Cheregi y Adi, 2015;Farris y Mohamed, 2018;Tirosh y Klein-Avraham, 2019;Zhang y Hellmueller, 2017).…”

El presente artículo analiza el papel de la fotografía de prensa como vehículo para construir la alteridad, es decir, la figura del Otro. Nos centraremos en las informaciones relacionadas con los Barómetros de 2017 y 2018 de Ikuspegi – Observatorio Vasco de Inmigración para comprobar, utilizando la técnica del análisis textual y basándonos en la teoría del framing, cómo algunos de los estereotipos presentes en la sociedad respecto a la población inmigrante se reproducen visualmente en las imágenes de la prensa vasca digital.
