Project duration: December 2018 – December 2021.

The aim of the MAD project is to compare media discourses on migrants in five countries: Poland, UK, Ukraine, Czech Republic and Albania. The project will involve media monitoring and analysis of media content (TV, press, Internet) related to migration and migrants in each of these countries. This will allow us to describe (qualitatively and quantitatively) the specific discourse in each country. In addition, qualitative research (FGI) is planned, which aims to check how selected social groups receive media coverage.

The project will culminate in the preparation of a scientific monograph in English, containing comparative analysis of media discourse about migrants in the countries participating in the project.

Collegium Civitas is the leader of the project in cooperation with the London School of Economics and Political Science (UK), Masaryk University in Brno (Czech Republic), Taras Shevchenko National University of Kyiv (Ukraine), Universiteti Bujqësor i Tiranës (Albania) and Kosovo Center of Diplomacy (Kosovo).
