Drawing upon the co-existence of the securitization of the border and the progressive discursive and legal articulation of responsibilities for vulnerable groups, this chapter focuses on the context of Mediterranean migrant tragedies with the aim of investigating the effect of the media on public understanding of the migration and refugee crisis. In particular, it explores how both migration studies and media studies are implicitly interlinked and mutually constitutive, but rarely have the overlaps between the two fields been explored with the aim of critically bridging some of the gaps between media and migration research
