| dc.description.abstract | In November 2018, a number of migrants escaping from the refugee camps located in Northern France arrived on boats at the coast of Southern England. Despite, the relatively low figures in comparison to other forced displacements, British newspapers reacted to the crossings in an unpre- cedented way. Headlines labelling the events as ‘crisis’ or ‘wave of migrants’ were numerous. Natu- rally, framing of information was at play in the coverage of these events However, the question re- mained whether or not this was ubiquitous in the whole British press system. Therefore, this study tackled this phenomenon by investigating how the crossings were framed by The Sun and The Guardian, two major newspapers among the tabloid and quality press, respectively. By means of inductive qualitative discourse analysis, a number of findings were obtained. The Sun framed the events in a remarkably negative manner, while The Guardian represented them considerably more sympathetically. These findings further expand an extensive body of research on the relationship between framing theory and the news coverage of controversial issues such as immigration | en_US |
