No longer a waltz between red wine and mint tea: The portrayal of the children of immigrants in French newspapers (2003–2013)

The media coverage of Venezuelan migration in Mexico and its impact on public opinion

“…This work attempts to understand how discourse is built to legitimatize a social and political order or to impose a specific reasoning as the only possible explanation or interpretation to a very complex social phenomenon (Van Dijk, 2003) (Curci-Wallis, 2016.
