Análisis de la cobertura mediática de los refugiados Entre las costas de El País y The Daily Telegraph

Abstract

There always have been refugees. The movements of groups, since Prehistory, have been changing, as the reason of their movements. Besides, there is always have been a political sight, a social one and an international view of a refugee crisis. However, the vision of the main characters, if they are taking into account, is smaller because of the media meet the demand of a western interests. The last big shift of people appeared in our newspapers and tv news in an explicit and continuous way from August 2015. Since then, this refugee crisis experienced changes –and still it does– as different stages: arrival, stay and expulsion. In the same way, the information flow has experienced changes too. Our Project study that changes on two newspapers, El País and The Daily Telegraph. In the first stage, the spotlight is deeper than the others, offering us a coverage that maybe could fill up the readers and spectators. In the second one, the interest is keeping, but the media highlight those news which cause a big scoop in the public. The third stage only will highlight the moment when it produces the expulsions. This Project does a qualitative analysis of the sources and social actor and other quantitative analysis of the news. Our aim is to examine how the media treat the refugees in their news, the lexical they use, the sources, the identity they made of them and the way they arrive to the western public, who is consumer of the news media.
