Transcending fear and sentimentality in migration coverage

Abstract

Migration was possibly the biggest story of 2015, but how well did journalists tell it? In December 2015, the London-based Ethical Journalism Network released a report, Moving Stories, reviewing media coverage of the crisis. The report, which is available at ethicaljournalismnetwork.org, analysed the situation in the European Union and 14 countries around the world, including China, India and Nepal. The report’s editor, Aidan White, spoke about it with Cherian George.
