“…Of course, in such immigration reports migrant voices are either non-existent or in the minority compared to other actors featured in the narratives (Beckers and Van Aelst, 2019). Several studies have shown that often nationalist and criminality frames dominate such media coverages to portray migrants as a problem (Risam, 2019) out-groups and ‘dangerous intruders’ (Mitchell and Afshari, 2021), security risk (Farris and Mohamed, 2018; Greussing and Boomgaarden, 2017), aggressors and victims of violence (Croitoru et al, 2018), ‘impending catastrophe’ (Anderson, 2017), terrorists and sexual deviants (Trifonova, 2020) and health risks (Esses et al, 2013). Migrants have also been excoriated as source of unemployment and poverty (Urbina, 2018) that undermines living standards of native citizens.…”

Immigration was a salient feature of Trump and Brexit campaigns in 2016. In view of this, the study assumes that media coverage of Middle Eastern and African (MEA) migrants in international press might deteriorate. Extracting contents from Bloomberg Businessweek, Time and The Economist magazines for the years 2016–2018, the phenomenon was investigated using quantitative content analysis and qualitative textual analysis methods. The findings showed that MEA migrants are positively framed. However, the metaphors and language of constructing the image of these migrant groups belie the positive frames, making references to migrants’ values, cultural backgrounds, faith, and origins in a way that dehumanises and capable of generating hostile attitudes towards them. Of the categories of sources used, politicians’ voices and quotes dominated the coverage with references to the political actors of the 2016 epochal events, while the voices of MEA migrants are underrepresented. What these findings suggest is that not only did the 2016 Brexit and Trump immigration discourses influenced MEA migrants’ portrayals, they also indicated that the media is still manufacturing consent with regards to immigration coverage.
