Abstract

Most Studies show that Media, and particularly the Press, have an essential role in reproducing the discourse of foreign immigration. This discourse focuses on highlighting the problems caused by immigrants during their integration process, or on the difficulties they have to face and which are recognized within their diversity, and not on the acknowledgment of the benefits that the integration may imply. However, what happens when we identify the issue of immigration within a specific context? Are the existing discourses on the issue of migration reproduced in general through the portrayal of foreign school population offered by the Spanish press? From our analysis, we have been able to identify that there is a particular representation of the discourses on the issue of immigration. In the following pages, we intend to reflect and analyse such matters.
