dc.description.abstractThis thesis employs critical discourse analysis to study the representation of immigrants in newspapers in southern Spain and the southwest United States. The research employs exploratory and ad-hoc analysis to draw conclusions regarding the use of vocabulary and metaphor in immigration news articles archived in national and regional newspapers over a two-month time period. The textual analysis is paired with a summary of social cognitive, agenda-setting, cultivation, and cognitivist media theories and in-depth interviews with migrants and journalists. In its conclusion, this thesis provides recommendations for journalists and publications in how to better improve immigration reporting.en_US
