Bachelor thesis | Politicologie (BSc)

This thesis has used Qualitative Content Analysis to investigate the impact of right-wing populist rhetoric about immigration on Italian newspapers after 2017. The results have found that firstly, the Italian newspaper articles addressing the topic of immigration are partially coherent with the exclusionary narrative of immigration. Secondly, newspaper articles addressing the topic of immigration favour exclusionary populist narrative in their choices regarding space and attention focus.
