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 fram- ing the media discourses on migration are grounded on a semantic struc- ture 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.

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 fram- ing the media discourses on migration are grounded on a semantic struc- ture 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.I documenti in IRIS sono protetti da copyright e tutti i diritti sono riservati, salvo diversa indicazione.
