Project description
 

The coverage of migration in the media is considered partly to blame for the Brexit vote. While all published studies focus on broadsheets and tabloids, our project will involve content and discourse analyses with a view to identifying the approach to migration by three major digital-only media, in
the Brexit context: Buzzfeed UK, The Huffington Post UK and Vice UK.
