  • Constructing childhood in the Russian-Ukrainian War: Unicef’s Instagram representations of children

    Open Access•Marie Flügge, David Ongenaert•ARTICLE•Media War & Conflict•2026

    Humanitarian organizations play key roles in protecting children and shaping public, political, and media understandings of, and responses to, humanitarian crises and the people affected. Yet, representations of children in humanitarian social media communication – especially concerning crises in the global North – remain understudied. This study examines how UNICEF represents children affected by the Russian–Ukrainian war on Instagram from 2022 …

    Open Access•David Ongenaert, Cláudia Soler•ARTICLE•Journal of Refugee Studies•2024•Cited by: 5•References: 8

    The Ukrainian crisis has received substantial Global Northern policy support and favourable news coverage, contrasting sharply with Global Southern crises.

  • Beyond the humanitarian savior logics? UNHCR's public communication strategies for the Syrian and Central African crises

    Open Access•David Ongenaert, Stijn Joye et al.•ARTICLE•International Communication Gazette•2022•Cited by: 2•References: 23

    Forcibly displaced people often face restrictive migration policies and stereotypical discourses. Therefore, this study analyzes UNHCR's public communication strategies towards the Syrian and Central African crises. Through a comparative-synchronic multimodal critical discourse analysis (MCDA) of UNHCR's (international) press releases (N = 28), news stories (N = 233), photos (N = 462) and videos (N = 50) of 2015, we examined its main representati…

  • Refugee Organizations’ Public Communication: Conceptualizing and Exploring New Avenues for an Underdeveloped Research Subject

    Open Access•David Ongenaert•ARTICLE•Media and Communication•2019

    The world has faced a major increase in forced displacement and the theme has also become the subject of many public, media and political debates. The public communication of refugee organizations thereby increasingly impacts their operations, the public perception on forcibly displaced people and societal and policy beliefs and actions. However, little research has been conducted on the topic. Therefore, this conceptual article aims to (1) defin…

  • Selling displaced people? A multi-method study of the public communication strategies of international refugee organisations

    Open Access•David Ongenaert, Stijn Joye•ARTICLE•Disasters•2019•Cited by: 9•References: 64

    The world has seen a major increase in forced displacement since 2011. As a growing number of states implement restrictive refugee policies, public communication has become essential for refugee organisations. This study analysed, therefore, three international refugee organisations' discursive strategies towards the recent Syrian crisis, as well as their production and the social context. A critical discourse analysis of international press rele…
