To understand public opinion about immigration in Europe, one has to understand the media's role in it. We present a literature review on research on media discourse on immigration and their effects. Despite differences in the way immigration and migrant groups are represented in European media, we can observe common patterns. Migrants are generally under-represented and shown as delinquents or criminals. Although, media framing differs based on specific migrant groups the discourse is focusing on, immigration coverage is often negative and conflict-centred. Frequent exposure to such media messages leads to negative attitudes towards migration, may activate stereotypical cognitions of migrant groups, and even influence vote choice. In addition to discussing these issues in depth, the present review also focuses on comparative findings.

“…Media depictions of immigrants and refugees are typically negative (Igartua, Barrios, Ortega, & Frutos, 2014; Visintin, Voci, Pagotto, & Hewstone, 2017), as they generally characterize immigrants as physical, economic, or cultural threats to other groups (Atwell Seate & Mastro, 2016; Jacobs, Meeusen, & d’Haenens, 2016) and perpetuate stereotypical images of them (Ahmed, 2017). A refugee is usually represented as an “ambiguous figure suspended between victimhood and malevolence” (Chouliaraki & Zaborowski, 2017, p. 616).…”

Research shows that direct and indirect intergroup contact reduces levels of prejudice towards immigrants. However, no research so far has explored the association of these different forms of contact with attitudes towards refugees. The present study analyses the relationship between the frequency and valence of direct intergroup contact with people with a migration background, the frequency of indirect contact with news on refugees, and the perception of realistic and symbolic threat, and attitudes towards refugees among adults in four European countries (Belgium, France, the Netherlands, Sweden). Data were collected in 2017 via online questionnaires ( N = 6,000). Using structural equation modelling, findings indicate that interethnic contact is positively related to attitudes towards refugees. Moreover, valence of direct contact is found to be more important to attitude formation than its frequency. Regarding indirect contact, exposure to news on refugees and public news consumption are positively related to attitudes, while commercial news consumption is negatively related to attitudes.

“…Generally these suggest that coverage is responsive to important in entertainment (e.g. Igartua, Barrios, Ortega, & Frutos, 2014), media use of migrants (e.g. Dekker, Engbersen, Klaver, & Vonk, 2018;Ogan, 2001).…”

Over the past two decades, migration has become one of the decisive socio-political topics worldwide. Debates over effective border controls, the social integration of migrants or the consequences of migration for host societies are abound in receiving countries. Political consequences are evident, with right-wing (oftentimes populist) anti-immigration parties having gained electoral success and at times government participation in many countries (e.g., Golder, 2016). In Europe, the politicization of migration has gained momentum over the past decade (e.g., Van der Brug, D'Amato, Ruedin, & Berkhout, 2015), and increasingly so during and in the
