Shades of acceptance: Mapping public tolerance of discriminatory practices and its links with authoritarianism
While much is known about discriminatory behaviors in fields like the labor and housing markets, there is a dearth of empirical evidence on perceived acceptability of discrimination among the public. This study investigates this complex landscape by examining views on discrimination based on age, ethnicity, gender, and disability in Belgium through a web survey ( N = 3000). Through four distinct vignettes based on housing and labor scenarios, we …
The VisionArte Methodology: Visual and Sensory Tools in Community-Based Action Research with Indigenous Youth in San José de Chiquitos, Bolivia
Community-Based Participatory Action Research (CBPAR) promotes collaborative knowledge production and social transformation by engaging community members as co-researchers. However, sustaining meaningful participation and equitable communication remains a challenge, particularly in settings marked by power asymmetries and cultural complexity. This article introduces the VisionArte methodology, which integrates arts-based methods and sensory ethno…
Framing discrimination in the news: A mixed-methods analysis of frames in Belgian newspapers
News media can shape public understanding of societal issues by either reinforcing divisions or promoting awareness. This study explores how Belgian newspapers framed discrimination between 2019 and 2023. Based on a qualitative analysis of 52 articles and a broader mapping of 513 news items, we identified four recurrent frames: Normalization (treating discrimination as ordinary), Deflection (downplaying it by questioning victims’ sensitivity), So…
Beyond the headlines: A decade of Belgian news coverage on Islam through thematic analysis informed topic modeling
This study investigates the portrayal of Islam and Muslims in Belgian news media from 2014 until 2024, adopting a combination of manual thematic analysis and topic modeling (BERTopic). The thematic analysis of selected articles identified key news themes. Then the top five themes (along with an ‘other’ category) were further modeled using BERTopic. To ensure coherence between qualitative and quantitative approaches, we employed an innovative sequ…
Affective–discursive ecologies of the far right: Multimodal softening, mobilisation and algorithmic proximity on Instagram
This article examines how far-right communication on Instagram uses positively valenced affect and humour to normalise extremist worldviews. Drawing on research on mainstreaming, memetic communication and affective publics, it conceptualises far-right Instagram as an affective–discursive ecology where ideology, emotion and platform logics intersect. Through algorithmic ethnography and multimodal discourse analysis, the study analyses 2603 Reels f…
Taking a seat, taking a side: How news media shapes covert discrimination
Understanding covert discrimination is as critical as overt discrimination in combating injustices. This study examines how news media consumption and trust shape covert discriminatory preferences. By analyzing various news media sources (television, newspapers, and social media) and various discrimination grounds, we highlight the complex relationship between factors driving covert discrimination. We use data from an online survey among 3000 Bel…
Bridging youth ‘media egocentrism’ and journalistic values: Strategies for public service media
Public service media (PSM) in Europe continues to grapple with redefining its role in a rapidly evolving media landscape, balancing quality and accessibility while striving to engage diverse audiences—including younger and marginalized groups—in an increasingly market-driven environment. This study examines how the Belgian public service media organization, Radio-Télévision Belge de la Communauté Française (RTBF), confronts the challenge of align…

From Egalitarian To Exclusionary: Profiling Youth Acceptance of Discrimination in the Digital Age
Unraveling the Engagement Paradox: High Civic Engagement Among Vulnerable European Youth in the Digital Age
Perceived discrimination and digital inequalities among children and young people: Studying the multidimensional concepts of digital skills and digital knowledge
Although young people spend increasing amounts of time on the internet, many caveats remain in the literature with regard to the development of digital skills. We focus on the influence of perceived discrimination given its strong link with youth development. We also consider the multidimensional nature of digital skills, focusing on five dimensions, and on digital knowledge. Using online survey data from 6221 children and young people aged 12–20…
Digital skills of and for lives marked by vulnerability: Being young, refugee, and connected in Europe
This article examines how teenage refugees in Europe develop digital skills in and through conditions of vulnerability. We argue that recognising vulnerability as a productive force, rather than merely as context, is crucial if we are to fully understand the emergence, limits and lack of skills among young people experiencing perpetual marginality. Drawing on 96 interviews and five creative workshops with teenage refugees in the cities of Athens,…
Threat or menace to media pluralism? A framework to assess alternative conspiracy media in today’s information landscape
In this article, we examine recent changes in Western media landscapes that witnessed the emergence of alternative conspiracy media critiquing the epistemic hegemony of legacy media, and explore ways to analyze whether they contribute to or hinder democratic discourse. This pressing question depends not only on the empirical manifestations of such media outlets, but also on the ideal conceptualization of media pluralism, which is contingent upon …
Applying the Carin Criteria to Migrant Settlement: Cross-National Validation of the Migrant Deservingness Scale
According to social policy literature, people utilize five criteria – Control, Attitude, Reciprocity, Identity, Need – to distinguish the deserving from the undeserving. Most studies rely on proxy variables rather than measuring deservingness criteria directly. We propose and validate a new instrument – the Migrant Deservingness Scale – that captures these criteria. We analyze data from an online survey in seven European countries, the U.S., and …

A longitudinal perspective on perceived vulnerability to disease during the Covid-19 pandemic in Belgium
During the coronavirus disease 2019 pandemic, individuals relied heavily on media sources to stay informed about the disease and public health measures. However, differences exist in the type and frequency of news media consumption, which can be linked to their perceived vulnerability to disease. In this longitudinal study, 1000 Flemish (Belgium) individuals were followed from March 2020 until September 2020, focussing on the evolution in perceiv…
Predicting Self-Reported Depression and Health Among Adolescents: Time Spent Online Mediated by Digital Skills and Digital Activities

We also consider the mediating role of digital skills and digital activities, each of which is broken down into five dimensions. We collected d…
On mainstream parties’ professionalized use of populist communication on social networking sites: An analysis of party Facebook contents in Taiwan’s 2020 national election
Despite the fruitful research on populist communication patterns of fringe parties on social network sites, mainstream parties’ communicative behaviors have often been ignored.

The professionalization of populist communication is defined as a) mainstream partie…
Digital Skills and Digital Knowledge as Buffers Against Online Mis/Disinformation? Findings from a Survey Study Among Young People in Europe
Digital skills and digital knowledge are often put forward as a potential solution protecting young people from being misled by mis/disinformation on social media. However, while previous research has repeatedly demonstrated the value of digital skills and digital knowledge for protecting young people from negative outcomes of their internet use, the state of the research regarding risks relating to exposure to online mis/disinformation remains s…
Gendered perspectives on digital skills and digital activities: Comparing non-binary and binary youth
Previous research on gender differences in young people’s digital development has shown that boys and girls differ in frequency and type of internet use, but vital gaps in the literature remain. In recent years, gender is increasingly considered to be a multidimensional concept with a growing number of young people identifying as non-binary (i.e. genderfluid, an umbrella term for gender identities that are not conforming to the male/female dichot…
Carin' about migrants through news? Linking migrant deservingness to traditional and digital media consumption
In recent years, public discourse and political actors have increasingly used a deservingness rhetoric to refer to the arrival and permanent settlement of migrant groups. However, scholars have drawn on the concept of deservingness without developing a clear theoretical framework for it. Following our recent work on the migrant deservingness framework, in the present study we use the CARIN criteria (Control, Attitude, Reciprocity, Identity, Need)…
Framing of asylum seekers in Dutch regional newspapers
The research literature indicates five recurrent frames in news reporting: conflict, human interest, economic consequences, morality and responsibility. Our central research question is: how does news reporting on asylum seekers in four Dutch regional newspapers reflect these frames? The latter are published in places where the inhabitants' reactions to the establishing of an asylum seekers' centre in their neighbourhoods varied from positive to …

The news is in the frame: A journalist-centered approach to the frame-building process of the Belgian Syria fighters
This article seeks to understand the genesis of frame-building based on the early coverage of the Belgian Syria fighters in the four leading newspapers in Flanders, the Dutch-speaking part of Belgium. For a period of 6 weeks, a frame analysis of news stories was linked to reconstruction interviews with reporters and supplemented by newsroom observations and in-depth interviews with superiors. The findings show that the framing of ‘new’ events on …
News coverage and attitudes on immigration: Public and commercial television news compared
Public and commercial news follow distinct logics. We evaluate this duality in television news coverage on immigration. First, by means of a large-scale content analysis of Flemish television news ( N = 1630), we investigate whether immigration coverage diverges between both broadcasters. Results show that, despite an overall negativity bias and relative homogeneity between the broadcasters, commercial news contains slightly more sensational and …
The contact hypothesis during the European refugee crisis: Relating quality and quantity of (in)direct intergroup contact to attitudes towards refugees
Research shows that direct and indirect intergroup contact reduces levels of prejudice towards immigrants. However, no research so far has explored the association of these different forms of contact with attitudes towards refugees. The present study analyses the relationship between the frequency and valence of direct intergroup contact with people with a migration background, the frequency of indirect contact with news on refugees, and the perc…
Triggering the News Story: Reconstructing reporters' newsgathering practices in the light of newspaper type, newsroom centralization, reporters' autonomy, and specialization
The origin of news production processes has not been extensively researched. This study identifies the factors that influence journalists' preferences for certain newsgathering channels to others at the genesis of news production: (1) the type of newspaper; (2) the centralization of the newsroom; (3) the story selection autonomy of the reporter; and (4) the specialization of the reporter in the topic of the story. During a six-week period, this s…

The news framing of the ‘Syria fighters’ in Flanders and the Netherlands: Victims or terrorists
In this article we present a cross-national comparison of framing of the issue of the ‘Syria fighters’ in Flanders and the Netherlands. We examine this topic using inductive and deductive framing analysis and interpret the results in terms of the advocates expressing the frames and the newspapers they were published in. We argue that variation in frame use can be explained by considering the background and social identification of the frame advoc…

What do people learn from following the news? A diary study on the influence of media use on knowledge of current news stories
One of the main functions of news media in democracies is informing the citizenry on day-to-day affairs. However, the way in which citizens gather news has changed as nowadays people have more opportunities than ever before to adapt their media consumption based on their preferences. One of the major game changers was the introduction of social media. This raises the question to what extent traditional media still contribute to people’s knowledge…
Media use, fear of terrorism, and attitudes towards immigrants and refugees: Young people and adults compared
In Flanders, citizens hold rather negative attitudes towards immigrants and refugees. This could be due to the news media, which depict newcomers in a rather negative way. The purpose of this study is to analyze whether there are separate media worlds at work in Flemish young people and adults and whether this results in different attitudes towards immigrants and refugees. To do so, we questioned 1,759 people aged 13 to 65 by means of an online q…

Integration policies and threat perceptions following the European migration crisis: New insights into the policy-threat nexus
The link between integration policies and intergroup attitudes or threat perceptions has received considerable attention.

Using new MIPEX data, this is the first study to examine mechanisms underlying the policy-threat nexus following the European migration crisis, distinguishi…
More news from the Euro front: How the press has been framing the Euro crisis in five EU countries
This article examines the metaphoric frames in the coverage of the Euro crisis in newspapers across five EU countries. Our quantitative frame analysis identified five dominant frames: war, construction, disease, natural disaster, and game. In all five countries, the Euro crisis as war turned out to be the most prominent news frame. Such framing uses martial, aggressive language to describe the European public sphere. This finding is not without i…
