Crammed into overcrowded, unsafe boats, thousands drowned, prompting the Pope to warn that the sea was becoming a mass graveyard. The early months of 2015 saw no respite. In April alone more than 1,300 people drowned. This led to a large public outcry to increase rescue operations. Throughout this period, UNHCR and other humanitarian organisations, engaged in a series of largescale media advocacy exercises, aiming at convincing European countries to do more to help. It was crucial work, setting the tone for the dramatic rise in attention to the refugee crisis that followed in the second half of 2015. But the media was far from united in its response. While some outlets joined the call for more assistance, others were unsympathetic, arguing against increasing rescue operations. To learn why, UNHCR commissioned a report by the Cardiff School of Journalism to explore what was driving media coverage in five different European countries: Spain, Italy, Germany, the UK and Sweden. Researchers combed through thousands of articles written in 2014 and early 2015, revealing a number of important findings for future media advocacy campaigns. Most importantly, they found major differences between countries, in terms of the sources journalists used (domestic politicians, foreign politicians, citizens, or NGOs), the language they employed, the reasons they gave for the rise in refugee flows, and the solutions they suggested. Germany and Sweden, for example, overwhelmingly used the terms 'refugee' or 'asylum seeker', while Italy and the UK press preferred the word 'migrant'. In Spain, the dominant term was 'immigrant'. These terms had an important impact on the tenor of each country's debate. Media also differed widely in terms of the predominant themes to their coverage. For instance, humanitarian themes were more common in Italian coverage than in British, German or Spanish press. Threat themes (such as to the welfare system, or cultural threats) were the most prevalent in Italy, Spain and Britain. Overall, the Swedish press was the most positive towards refugees and migrants, while coverage in the United Kingdom was the most negative, and the most polarised. Amongst those countries surveyed, Britain's right-wing media was uniquely aggressively in its campaigns against refugees and migrants. This report provides important insights into each country's press culture during a crucial period of agenda-setting for today's refugee and migrant crisis. It also offers invaluable insights into historical trends. What emerges is a clear message that for media work on refugees, one size does not fit all. Effective media advocacy in different European nations requires targeted, tailored campaigns, which takes into account their unique cultures and political context.

Its chapters examine, empirically and theoretically, some of the most important contemporary political, cultural and social issues with which migration is entwined, developing existing and new conceptual understandings of how forced migration and other instances of migration are represented and constructed as “crises” in different international contexts, including within news narratives on human trafficking and smuggling, asylum seeking and humanitarian reporting, “climate refugees,” undocumented and economic migrants, and in election debates and policy making. This edited volume also examines the reporting practices through which migration coverage is produced, including the rights and responsibilities of journalism and the presuppositions and pressures upon journalists working in this area.

Such studies often present compelling evidence demonstrating how the press construct and reproduce xenophobic or racist discourse through labelling and other language choices, the regular collocation of minorities with threats including terrorism, crime or anti-social behaviour and/or other negative narratives concerned with national vulnerability or social deterioration (e.g., Fox et al. 2012; Lynn and Lea 2003; Moore 2012; Moore et al. 2011; Poole 2011). Previous work also demonstrates how multifaceted and fluid discourses of racism in the press can be, with rhetorical defences to the accusation of racism readily at hand or embedded in the language through which racism is articulated (van Dijk 1992, 1993). The denial of racism as ‘a slur’, backlashes against ‘political correctness’, the endangerment of ‘common sense’ social criticism or ‘free speech’ and counter-accusations of ‘reverse racism’ are classic examples of such strategies employed in the defence of or legitimisation of, especially elite, racist discourse (Augoustinos and Every 2007, 2010; Kobayashi 2009; Seidel 1988). This chapter examines a fundamental issue at the nexus of this conflict—the meaning of racism. What is racism understood to be, and how are these definitions of what is and isn’t ‘racism’ constructed in crime and law and order news? Drawing upon findings from an extensive study examining the representation of racism in UK national newspapers, the Daily Mail and The Mail on Sunday, The Daily Telegraph and Sunday Telegraph and The Sun, it looks at the kinds of stories that feature racism, how racism is discussed, positioned and made sense of. What kinds of racist practice are represented as newsworthy? How are actors in narratives about racism characterised? What do the discursive boundaries of racism and their policing tell us about how racism is likely to be understood and addressed?

In the news media, some ideas about poverty become more powerful than others, helping to shape what is recognized to be ‘common sense’. News narratives can play a central role in reflecting and reproducing, challenging and transforming ideas on poverty. They can influence policy makers and public opinion, and shape how poverty may be encountered and experienced by ordinary people. This report unpacks current news media narratives on poverty in Wales: it aims to understand how and why poverty is represented in the news media in the way that it currently is; and explores how news coverage on poverty can be as accurate and as meaningful as possible in representing the stories, issues and experiences of poverty in Wales today.

This article presents findings from research commissioned by UNHCR to measure how the issue of migration was framed in the news media across the EU. We compare the national press coverage of five member states: UK, Sweden, Germany, Spain and Italy, focusing upon the main themes of news coverage, reasons for and responses to migration outlined. We find striking variations in framing between national contexts, but also a significant disconnection, overall, between causal interpretation and treatment recommendation framing. We conclude that the resulting fragmented frames of European migration news in themselves signify ‘crisis’ - an unsettled discourse reflecting shifting anxieties between humanitarian concern to save refugees, and a securitising fortress mentality to better police Europea...

The application was called SABAR (that stands for Satua Bali (Balinese folklore)-Augmented Reality). It was developed by using the ADDIE model. The analysis stage was carried out by a FGD. At the design stage, SABAR blueprint was prepared, science concepts related to the selected folklore were mapped, the content was drafted, and the initial draft was prepared. At the development stage content validation, practitioners consultation, and feasibility testing were carried out. The results of expert judgment were then analyzed using Aiken's validity index. Then a questionnaire was distributed to 10 elementary school teachers and 100 elementary school students from Denpasar City. The implementation stage was carried out in one-shot case study. The try-out involved one class with 30 students, namely the fifth grade of Public Elementary School No 29 Dangin Puri, Denpasar. The variable tested was scientific literacy. The data were analyzed using one-sample t-test. The final stage was evaluation. The result of the content validity test showed that SABAR has high validity coefficient. The responses of the practitioners and students showed that SABAR is easy to use, attractive, and helps students in learning. The analysis of one-sample test showed that p-value = 0.000. In other words, there is a difference in the elementary school students' scientific literacy when they learned science by using the application. This study needs to be continued with a wider range of population.

It provides a rationale for its focus upon investigating the meaning of migration in the current conjuncture, indicating how existing work on migration in relation to media coverage, political agendas and humanitarianism informs this focus. It makes a case for the inherently political nature of migration as an unfixed, contested and continually reinvented concept conditioned by multiple specific, local and transnational heterogeneous contexts. The editorial also explains the development of this special issue from the 'Meaning of Migration' conference held in Cardiff in April 2014 and suggests that the articles included represent a valuable and diverse set of current and future research trajectories for critical migration research.

Crammed into overcrowded, unsafe boats, thousands drowned, prompting the Pope to warn that the sea was becoming a mass graveyard. The early months of 2015 saw no respite. In April alone more than 1,300 people drowned. This led to a large public outcry to increase rescue operations. Throughout this period, UNHCR and other humanitarian organisations, engaged in a series of largescale media advocacy exercises, aiming at convincing European countries to do more to help. It was crucial work, setting the tone for the dramatic rise in attention to the refugee crisis that followed in the second half of 2015. But the media was far from united in its response. While some outlets joined the call for more assistance, others were unsympathetic, arguing against increasing rescue operations. To learn why, UNHCR commissioned a report by the Cardiff School of Journalism to explore what was driving media coverage in five different European countries: Spain, Italy, Germany, the UK and Sweden. Researchers combed through thousands of articles written in 2014 and early 2015, revealing a number of important findings for future media advocacy campaigns. Most importantly, they found major differences between countries, in terms of the sources journalists used (domestic politicians, foreign politicians, citizens, or NGOs), the language they employed, the reasons they gave for the rise in refugee flows, and the solutions they suggested. Germany and Sweden, for example, overwhelmingly used the terms 'refugee' or 'asylum seeker', while Italy and the UK press preferred the word 'migrant'. In Spain, the dominant term was 'immigrant'. These terms had an important impact on the tenor of each country's debate. Media also differed widely in terms of the predominant themes to their coverage. For instance, humanitarian themes were more common in Italian coverage than in British, German or Spanish press. Threat themes (such as to the welfare system, or cultural threats) were the most prevalent in Italy, Spain and Britain.

This article presents findings from research commissioned by UNHCR to measure how the issue of migration was framed in the news media across the EU. We compare the national press coverage of five member states: UK, Sweden, Germany, Spain and Italy, focusing upon the main themes of news coverage, reasons for and responses to migration outlined. We find striking variations in framing between national contexts, but also a significant disconnection, overall, between causal interpretation and treatment recommendation framing. We conclude that the resulting fragmented frames of European migration news in themselves signify ‘crisis’ - an unsettled discourse reflecting shifting anxieties between humanitarian concern to save refugees, and a securitising fortress mentality to better police Europea...

The application was called SABAR (that stands for Satua Bali (Balinese folklore)-Augmented Reality). It was developed by using the ADDIE model. The analysis stage was carried out by a FGD. At the design stage, SABAR blueprint was prepared, science concepts related to the selected folklore were mapped, the content was drafted, and the initial draft was prepared. At the development stage content validation, practitioners consultation, and feasibility testing were carried out. The results of expert judgment were then analyzed using Aiken's validity index. Then a questionnaire was distributed to 10 elementary school teachers and 100 elementary school students from Denpasar City. The implementation stage was carried out in one-shot case study. The try-out involved one class with 30 students, namely the fifth grade of Public Elementary School No 29 Dangin Puri, Denpasar. The variable tested was scientific literacy. The data were analyzed using one-sample t-test. The final stage was evaluation. The result of the content validity test showed that SABAR has high validity coefficient. The responses of the practitioners and students showed that SABAR is easy to use, attractive, and helps students in learning. The analysis of one-sample test showed that p-value = 0.000. In other words, there is a difference in the elementary school students' scientific literacy when they learned science by using the application. This study needs to be continued with a wider range of population.

It provides a rationale for its focus upon investigating the meaning of migration in the current conjuncture, indicating how existing work on migration in relation to media coverage, political agendas and humanitarianism informs this focus. It makes a case for the inherently political nature of migration as an unfixed, contested and continually reinvented concept conditioned by multiple specific, local and transnational heterogeneous contexts. The editorial also explains the development of this special issue from the 'Meaning of Migration' conference held in Cardiff in April 2014 and suggests that the articles included represent a valuable and diverse set of current and future research trajectories for critical migration research.

The Trust commissioned Stuart Prebble, a programme maker, author and former CEO of ITV, to lead the review. The review examined content on BBC national TV and radio, online content and looked at three subjects in particular as part of its review of breadth of opinion: content about religion and ethics, the UK's relationship to the EU and immigration. As well as the authored report by Stuart Prebble, the review also included content analysis and audience research. The review below includes the Trust conclusions, Stuart Prebble's report and the Executive response. The content analysis and audience research, as well as a list of individuals and organisations consulted during this review, are provided separately.

Dominant discourses on asylum in this period have situated so called, ‘bogus asylum seekers’ as a dangerous ‘other’ in relation to Britain’s ‘law abiding majority’. These ideas have gained in currency through a marked discursive shift whereby the representation of asylum has been reframed. I examine how the detention of asylum seekers has formed an important part of this reframing, with asylum becoming a key constituent of post 9/11 concerns about ‘national security’. However, the case study of asylum detention in Scotland also provides an example of how a counter discourse to the dominant one of ‘asylum crisis’ might be constructed, pointing towards a more humanitarian agenda rather than a securitising response to asylum seekers’ presence in Britain. I ask to what extent this kind of hegemonic challenge to dominant ideas on asylum has reformed asylum discourse in Scotland, and also to what extent such a change is replicable elsewhere in the UK.
