The spiral of collapse. Frame of immigration in Spanish media
Abstract
This study is focused in knowing how the framing of the Spanish reference press on irregular immigration through the Mediterranean is presented during 2018. Based on the content analysis of more than 700 informative pieces, a comparison is made between the first six months of the year, under the management of former president Mariano Rajoy, and the subsequent six months under the administration of Pedro Sánchez. The results show a clear thematization in the Sanchez`s stage, since the volume of news increases, as well as the editorials and the grandstands of opinion invited. There is a media interest to highlight that the phenomenon of immigration could affect coexistence in Spain and, consequently, endanger the pillars of the welfare state, while causing the collapse of citizen security, administrative and financial resources and social services.
