Moral panic over migration in the broadcasting of the Czech Radio
Original language description
There were 1525 applications for asylum in the Czech Republic in 2015, and 71 people were granted asylum. Despite this fact migration was the most covered topic in the Czech media (especially television news services) in 2015. The discussed events were labelled as a wave or flood and were framed as a crisis, threat, and risk not only by the journalists but by politicians as well. This paper is based on quantitative and qualitative research on migration and war refugees from August 17, 2015 to September 18, 2015 in six news programmes of the public service broadcaster, namely the Czech Radio. It is a qualitative case study of the program Den podle… (‘Day according to…’) conducted according to steps of the grounded theory (Strauss-Corbin 1999) with the use of semiotic analysis (Chandler 2002) and discourse analysis (van Dijk 1985). We use the constructivist approach and focus on the moral panic theory (Cohen 2002 and Garland 2008) in this text. The theory emphasizes the extent of media power which contributes to social control and the strengthening of group identity through the negative representation of those who are labelled as folk devils disturbing social order. The paper argues that the representation of migration in the public service broadcasting contributed to the moral panic arousal in the researched period.
