Abstract

We are facing a new phase of migration processes caught between profound geopolitical, economic and sociocultural changes and the lack of preparation of Western media and policy in addressing this complexity. For this reason, migratory phenomena call for particular attention and the ability to grasp the human, cultural and even economic side without eroding dimensions such as trust, cohesion and solidarity that should guide social life at the national and international level. In this process, communication and media play an important role. To validate this, we analyzed media narratives on migration; particularly those disseminated through the major mainstream networks, and documented the phenomenon with data provided by secondary sources such as the Carta di Roma and the Osservatorio di Pavia. A comparative analysis was also carried out of the narrative styles of two TV shows aired on the national mainstream networks: “Dalla vostra parte/ On Your Side” (Rete 4) and “Radici. L’altra faccia dell’immigrazione/ Roots. The other face of immigration” (Rai 3).
