Absztrakt

The news consumers’ perception of reality depends on the way and on the language in which the media cover the events. As it is known from strategic communication, business communication, and political discourse analysis, the choice of words and phrases determines what cognitive scenarios are triggered in the minds of the news consumers. These are culture dependent, deeply rooted in communities, and shape the attitudes of the public. The study summarises some typical features of the reports on global news websites at the peak of the migration crisis in Europe from mid-August, 2015 to late October, 2015, and points out the impact of the model of reality presented by the news texts on the political management of the crisis. The analysis also focuses on which aspects are covered extensively and which ones are dismissed as insignificant or ignored since these may provide possible clues to a better understanding of the background of the crisis.
