  • The Representation of Immigrants in Newspapers in Southern Spain and the Southwest United States
    ILLEGAL: THE REPRESENTATION OF IMMIGRANTS IN NEWSPAPERS IN SOUTHERN SPAIN AND THE SOUTHWEST UNITED STATES by RILEY STEVENSON A THESIS Presented to the Department of Journalism and the Robert D. Clark Honors College in partial fulfillment of the requirements for the degree of Bachelor of Arts June 2014 An Abstract of the Thesis of Riley Stevenson for the degree of Bachelor of Arts in the Department of Journalism to be taken June 2014 Title: Illegal: The Representation of Immigrants in Newspapers in Southern Spain and the Southwest United States This thesis employs critical discourse analysis to study the representation of immigrants in newspapers in southern Spain and the southwest United States. The research employs exploratory and ad-hoc analysis to draw conclusions regarding the use of vocabulary and metaphor in immigration news articles archived in national and regional newspapers over a two-month time period. The textual analysis is paired with a summary of social cognitive, agenda-setting, cultivation, and cognitivist media theories and in-depth interviews with migrants and journalists. In its conclusion, this thesis provides recommendations for journalists and publications in how to better improve immigration reporting. [j Acknowledgements “Journalism is like a sacred book that’s difficult to interpret. You have to find someone who knows the topic and can help you get to where you want to go.” --Abdelaziz, Morrocan immigrant The completion of this thesis would not have been possible without the help of a great many people. First and foremost, thank you to all of the migrants, journalists, and activists who kindly took the time to answer my never-ending questions and restored my faith in humanity.

  • Mise En Page 1
    God, in your Grace ... “But God, who is rich in mercy, out of the great love with which he loved us even when we were dead through our trespasses, made us alive together with Christ – by grace you have been saved – and raised us up with him and seat- ed us with him in the heavenly places in Christ Jesus, so that in the ages to come he might show the immeasurable riches of his grace in kindness toward us in Christ Jesus. For by grace you have been saved through faith, and this is not your own doing; it is the gift of God – not the result of works, so that no one may boast. For we are what he has made us, created in Christ Jesus for good works, which God prepared beforehand to be our way of life.” (Eph. 2:4-10) “Let anyone who has an ear listen to what the Spirit is saying to the churches”. (Rev. 2:7) God, in your Grace ... Official Report of the Ninth Assembly of the World Council of Churches Edited by Luis N.
