<h2>Size and Focus of Daily Mail Headlines on Migrant Workers. Source: <a href="http://www.theguardian.com/news/reality-check/interactive/2014/jan/06/uk-migration-statistics-v-headlines">Guardian</a>, 2014</h2> | |
<p><i>"Migrants, this time foreign workers, are yet again in the headlines today as political parties debate the causes of Britain's financial problems. It's a story that is receiving a lot of attention in the British press. | |
That's slightly problematic because, when it comes to objective reporting, there are few topics that invoke as much criticism of the British Press as immigration."</i></p> | |
<p></p> | |
<p>The chart below illustrates the numner of migrant worker headlines in the The Daily Mail (aka "The Daily Heil, "The Daily Fail") tabloid newspaper from 1997-2013 by Nationality. Unlike the Guardian chart, this one shows all Nationalities in their dataset. </p> | |
