Migration Policies in the Italian Newspaper Communication.

Communication and migration are a duality involving both manifest and latent actions of individuals in societies that are imbued with multiple cultures. This article investigates the effects of this duality on cultural changes, specifically on the language used by the media to represent migration. We will examine the situation before and after several "milestone" laws or agreements that have marked the political and social context of migration in Italy over the past few years. Through an analysis of the language used, we aim to determine whether and how the media (specifically, the newspaper La Repubblica) has modified its representation of migration and the aspects that pertain to issues of general interest associated with this phenomenon.
