Cara Media Menyetir Empati pada Krisis Pengungsi Eropa

This text introduces the book "Solidarity in the Media and Public Contention over Refugees in Europe," a 2021 scholarly study examining how European news coverage influenced public perceptions during the 2015 refugee crisis. The research utilizes claims-making analysis to track how various actors—ranging from politicians to civil society groups—defined and justified their stances across eight European nations. It explores the tension between inclusive humanitarian values and exclusive nationalist sentiments, illustrating how media acts as a central arena for political struggle. The authors combine traditional print media analysis with social media reception, specifically investigating how Facebook users responded to reported news. By contrasting organized political statements with bottom-up citizen comments, the work provides a comprehensive overview of how European solidarity was either strengthened or eroded during a period of intense social pressure. Finally, the provided excerpts offer a detailed methodological guide for researchers on how to categorize and quantify public discourse within the field of communication studies.
