Ogan gives seminars on migration news coverage, attitudes
Professor emerita Christine Ogan presented research on international media coverage of and attitudes toward migration at two Hong Kong universities in late March.
Ogan delivered seminars to faculty and graduate students at Hong Kong Baptist University and City University on March 25-29.
The research presented originated from three studies. The first, “Who drove the discourse? News coverage and policy framing of immigrants and refugees in the 2016 U.S. presidential election,” by Ogan; Rosemary Pennington, PhD’15; Olesya Venger of the University of Nevada-Las Vegas; and Daniel Metz, BAJ’17, analyzes news coverage of migration policy during the 2016 U.S. presidential election. It was published in Communications: The European Journal of Communication Research.
The other two studies, which have not yet been published, are a comparative study of attitudes toward migrants in Belgium, the Netherlands, Sweden, France and Turkey; and a U.S. national survey of attitudes toward migrants and migration.
Syracuse University professor Lars Willnat, MA’91, PhD’92, formerly a professor at the IU School of Journalism; University of Leuven (Belgium) professor Leen d’Haenens; and University of Leuven doctoral student David deConinck also contributed to the research Ogan presented.
Ogan also gave a seminar to HK Baptist University doctoral students on publishing their work.
