The UK-based ARTICLE 19 organisation initiated this research in order to assess the ways in which refugees and asylum seekers are represented in the UK national press and on television: the opportunities they have to communicate their stories, ideas and opinions to the media; the difficulties journalists may face in reporting on the issue and; the role of refugee organisations in facilitating contact between the media and the refugee community.
