Abstract
Research on mainstream media coverage of immigration and immigrants in both Western and non-Western societies has, within the last four decades in particular, concluded that the dominant tendencies in the coverage of immigration by these media have been to sideline immigrants as sources and to frame immigration and immigrants as ‘economic; social; cultural and political problems’ with risks for national security and the sustainability of the welfare state (Gemi et al., 2013, p. 270). These conclusions have also been echoed in several research projects on Danish mainstream media coverage of immigration and immigrants (Horsti, 2008).
