The Coverage of Migration in the Dutch Press (Exemplified by the Telegraaf Publications from 2014–2015)

Section: Foreign Journalism

The paper presents the results of the qualitative and quantitative content analysis of publications in De Telegraaf, the biggest daily Dutch newspaper, related to the topic of migration in 2014—2015. The total number of publications under analysis was 133; the study was carried out using the online version of the newspaper and the search by key words. The aim of the study was to reveal any possible differences in covering the topic of the migration in 2015, the year when the number of refugees to the European countries, including the Netherlands, reached the highest level ever, and in 2014, when that number was noticeably lower. The analysis of publications using several main criteria (the total number of publications related to the migration, form and genre of publications, attitude to the topic under analysis transmitted through publications, thematic areas) showed that despite the significant growth in the number of publications devoted to the migration (15 in 2014 and 118 in 2015), the way De Telegraaf covered that topic remained the same. The paper strives to provide its readers an unbiased coverage of the events as soon as possible, usually choosing a short report followed by a photo or an illustration for that purpose, and demonstrates certain interest in the fields of politics, social life and personal stories of migrants.
