| description | This study analyzes how migrant workers under the Kafala or “sponsorship” system are represented in Lebanese news media during times of crisis. To investigate media representations of migrants in Lebanon, this study employs quantitative and qualitative analysis of 197 randomly sampled news headlines and 18 purposively sampled news articles published from 2020–2021. The quantitative findings reveal that during times of crisis in Lebanon, the headlines about migrant workers became more negative while the qualitative analysis found the articles almost never quoted migrants while reproducing racialized and gendered media biases through the media frames, discourses, and visuals presented. |
