Migrants and the media in the twenty-first century : obstacles and opportunities for the media to reflect diversity and promote integration

This themed issue of Journalism Practice addresses the role of the media and their capacity to reflect diversity and promote migrant integration. Migrant integration here is understood both in its loose term – when the media promote a positive view of migration or at least a fair view, including migrant voices in their sources, as well as how this might facilitate the integration process – and in its strict term concerning the inclusion of migrants as professionals in the media sector and the specific diversity policies that different media sectors and media outlets adopt in their recruitment, employment and training schemes.
