- Title
- Reporting Australia's asylum seeker 'crisis'
- Author(s)
- Mares, Peter
- Abstract
- This paper looks at the way the Australian media has reported the "crisis" of refugees and asylum seekers landing on Australia's shores without authorisation. The author argues that the arrival of the "boat people"is in fact a "pseudo crisis" and that the level of anxiety attached to the issue is totally out of proportion with the actual "threat" posed by unauthorised migration.
