Reporting at the Southern Borders: Journalism and Public Debates on Immigration in the U.S. and the E.U.

By Giovanna Dell'Orto

Book Overview

This interdisciplinary, international volume fills a major gap in political science and communication literature on the role of news media in public debates over immigration by providing unique insider's perspectives on journalistic practices and bringing them into dialogue with scholars and immigrant rights practitioners. The contributors' comparative reflections on the professional, institutional, and technological constraints shaping news stories offer unprecedented insight into the challenges and opportunities for 21st century journalism to affect public discourse and policymaking about issues critical to the future of the transatlantic space, making the book relevant across a wide range of scholarship on the media's impact on public affairs.
