| Title | Clashes between East and West: The Media Coverage of the Expulsion of the Eastern-European Roma from France in the British and Hungarian Press |
| Summary | This thesis examines the media coverage of the expulsion of Romanian and Bulgarian Romas from France in the British and Hungarian quality press. It identifies four main themes in the media discourse about this case and several discourse strategies that the newspapers use to get their ideological message through. Through examining these four main themes (crime, racism, role of the EU and the divide between East and West) this thesis offers data about the portrayal of ethnic minorities in the press and the identity creating power of East and West theorised by Attila Melegh, which leads to clashes in the media discourse between the older and richer Western members of the EU and the younger and poorer Eastern ones. |
