One week until the launch of EJN’s new report on migration and the media
On Friday December 18th we are launching our latest report: ‘Moving Stories’ an international review of how media cover migration.
Migration has been the biggest global story of 2015. For this reason the report covers a variety of areas, starting with the media’s coverage of the European Union before moving on to look at the media in Bulgaria, Italy, Turkey, UK, Australia, Brazil, China, The Gambia, India, Lebanon, Mexico, Nepal, South Africa and the United States.
The report also includes recommendations and useful links for journalists and media organisations about how to produce ethical content, newsroom practice and challenging hate-speech.
If you would like to receive an embargoed copy of the report or you would like further information please contact the EJN’s new communications officer, Tom Law, via email [email protected] or call Tom on +44(0)7594270633. |
