Abstract

This research paper delves into the complex relationship between media representations and public perceptions of refugees. The increasing global refugee crisis has highlighted the role media plays in shaping public opinion on issues of migration asylum and integration. Through content analysis this study aims to explore how refugees are portrayed in different media outlets including news articles television broadcasts and social media and how these portrayals influence public attitudes towards refugees. The paper hypothesizes that media representations are not neutral but are deeply influenced by political economic and cultural factors. A comprehensive analysis of media content will reveal patterns in how refugees are framed and these frames will subsequently affect public perception and policy responses towards refugee populations. This research provides significant insights for policymakers media practitioners and scholars emphasizing the need for responsible media representation in
