The Journal of Social Policy Research (Zeitschrift für Sozialreform) published the article "Beware of the “poverty migrant”: media discourses on EU labour migration and the welfare state in Germany and the UK" of our colleague Sonila Danaj in co-authorship with Ines Wagner. This article examines the role of the media in the EU freedom of movement debate through the lens of high-circulation German and UK newspapers during the first half of 2014. It explores how the media problematised migration from Eastern European member states and its influence on national host country labour markets and welfare systems. It also analyses how different media outlets positioned themselves in relation to relevant policies or policy proposals. The article is available here.
