Abstract
The article reports a comparative study of the representation of migration in media from three countries (Greece, Italy, and Turkey), over 2001–2018 period. Analysis showed the salience of two main frames – the view of migration as a matter of security and human beings as well. Themes framing the media discourses on migration are grounded on a semantic structure that is quite similar across the three countries compared, despite their considerable socio-cultural and geo-political differences. These semantic structures appear not to be associated with time of publication or with the political orientation of newspapers. Implications from these findings are discussed.
