Hard Evidence: how has press coverage of immigration changed?

In less than 10 years we’ve gone from needing migrants to do the jobs we didn’t want to being scared they’ll damage our way of life. The press didn’t help.

This article looks at research which provides some answers to these questions by focusing on the changing quality of coverage on immigration in the UK press, comparing two years (2006 and 2013) when immigration rose to the top of the political agenda. The main issue during these periods was European free movement rules and whether to open up the labour market to citizens from Bulgaria and Romania.
