Sažetak
The aim of this paper is to understand how migrants are described in the media and to what extent and in what way media coverage in Bosnia and Herzegovina has influenced the perception and real tolerance of the BiH public towards refugees and migrants. Analyzing media reports in the last three years, it is impossible not to notice that a certain part of the population of Bosnia and Herzegovina has a negative perception of refugees and migrants coming from the Middle East, with some subgroups (ethnically, racially or status-defined) often subject to pronounced social stereotypes and prejudice (e.g. asylum seekers, Muslims ...). Such a negative perception is not the result of personal experience but is created on themes and narratives shaped and placed by the media. The research used the research technique of quantitative-qualitative analysis of media release content. A number of analyzed negative publications was accompanied by sensationalism and situation politicization - from political officials - which could contribute to stereotyping intensification, stigmatization and discrimination of the refugee and migrant population among the BiH public, to the possibility of creating an increasing mistrust towards the relevant state institutions, under whose jurisdiction are the issues of migration flow control and management.
