“…For immigrants, binaries of us/them, legal/illegal, or citizen/immigrant, often overarch framing of the issues and immigrants (Hamlin, 2021;Huber, 2015), resulting in normalizing exclusionary language and thinking about immigration and immigrants (Chavez, 2013;Dingeman-Cerda et al, 2015;Gleeson, 2015;Heredia, 2015;Nájera, 2015;Patel, 2015). Importantly, scholars show that these binaries occur in both progressive and conservative news sources (Cruz & Holman, 2021;Fleming-Rife & Proffitt, 2004;Patler & Gonzales, 2015;Rendon et al, 2019).…”

The United States Supreme Court ruled in Plyler v. Doe (1982) that all children regardless of their legal immigration status have a fundamental right to K-12 education. Despite education being a fundamental right, it remains fragile and contested for undocumented immigrants. Federal courts have had to reaffirm Plyler multiple times, including issuing a permanent injunction over California’s Proposition 187 (1994), which banned undocumented children from K–12 public schools and required officials and teachers to report anyone they suspected of being undocumented to federal immigration authorities. More recently, the courts blocked Alabama’s HB 56 (2012) provision that required schools to check and report newly enrolled K–12 students’ immigration status. The entanglement between postsecondary education and immigration, which falls outside of Plyler’s protection, has grown more pronounced over the past two decades. Federal immigration law in 1996 opened the door for states to actively regulate undocumented immigrants’ right to postsecondary education, including banning admissions or creating discriminatory hardships by denying in-state tuition or financial aid. While a rich scholarship covers these policies and their effects, no systematic study exists on the news framing of the intersection between education and immigration. This article examines 40,469 news articles published from 1980 to 2022 in six national and state news sources in the United States to explore the (dis)connections between education (K-12 and postsecondary) and immigration. Combining machine learning techniques and social network analysis with qualitative coding, we show that reporters’ use of a range of experts creates a deep conflation of education with immigration enforcement and illegality framing. Despite quests for journalistic neutrality, we argue that the use of experts by reporters prevents immigrant education from being a topic on its own or a topic where immigrants are framed primarily in a positive and inclusive way.

“…Only about 7% of newsroom employees are non-Hispanic Blacks, a smaller percentage than the U.S. workforce overall 12 . The average journalist tends to be white, male, and relatively educated 13 , which lends to a lack of deeper understanding and connection to issues of race and socioeconomic status. The "average journalist" is not a part of the racial minority or a victim of the discrimination against which the issue is set and does not have the same perspective or depth into a subject as someone within that minority group or movement.…”

This article explores how mainstream sources such as social media, broadcasting, and journalism, have shaped and continue to shape the perception of race, racial justice, and minority opinions with a focus on Black communities and movements such as Black Lives Matter. Media is critical in the distribution and dissemination of information, especially pertaining to issues and organizations that rise in response to critical events, opinions, and injustices. The growing prevalence of technologies and internet sources such as Twitter, Instagram, Facebook, and others, along with more traditional forms of communication such as CNN and Fox News, have increasingly given a platform to large-scale social issues such as the George Floyd racial justice protests and calls by Black communities for systemic and social change. This article also explores the utilization of racialized stereotypes and unconscious biases present in media that have shaped the language used when discussing social justice movements such as Black Lives Matter, and the perceptions formed around Black Americans.
