While news coverage on the negative impacts of migration in South Africa’s elite print media is
widespread visible and accepted in common public argumentations, the included mechanisms and
implications of such rhetoric remain invisible. This invisibility is a consequence of normalization
processes, causing certain viewpoints and argumentations to appear as emotional free and purely
facts. Feminist theory states the social construction of emotions, with no emotion being free from
social influence and no presentation of information being free from emotions. Applied to content
production in the media, these phenomena are part of current journalistic praxis, defined as War
Journalism by defenders of Peace Journalism. This research does not only seek to uncover how
migrants are depicted, but also what can be stated on South Africa’s conditions on identity and state
formation. The results reveal a fear loaded discourse leading to anxiety in South Africa’s society,
preparing the ground for securitization and the application of expanded control through state and
military forces. [-]
