[ecrea] New book: Picturing Immigration. Photojournalistic Representation of Immigrants in Greek and Spanish Press

*Picturing Immigration: Photojournalistic Representation of Immigrants 
in Greek and Spanish Press*
by Athanasia Batziou

*About the book:*
In recent years Greece and Spain have seen an influx of immigrants from 
nearby developing nations. And as their foreign populations grew, both 
countries' national media were there to document the change—in the 
process shaping perceptions of the immigrant groups by their new 
countries and the world.
Picturing Immigration offers a comparative study of the 
photojournalistic framing of immigrants in these two southern European 
nations. Going beyond traditional media analysis, it focuses on images 
rather than text to explore a host of hot topics, including media 
representation of minorities, immigration, and stereotypes.
