Media Society at The Conduit. Doors open 6pm on Monday 22nd September. Discussion starts at 6.30pm. Location: The Conduit, 6 Langley Street London WC2H 9JA (close to Covent Garden tube station).
Event Description
How does the media shape public opinion on migration – and what happens when the narrative gets it wrong?
From small boats crossing the English Channel to tension at the US-Mexico border, the migration debate is often framed through fear, crisis, and division. But how much of that is shaped by the way the media tells the story?
Journalists have been accused of reinforcing stereotypes, fuelling mistrust, and failing to provide the full global context. Others argue that tough reporting is necessary to hold governments accountable. So where does responsible journalism end and sensationalism begin?
In partnership with The Conduit, we are organising this important discussion event. Join leading voices for a a candid conversation on how migration is covered.
Does the media inform, mislead, or manipulate public opinion on migration? And how can we move beyond headlines to tell stories that truly reflect the human experience?
Panel to be announced.
