Resumen
Free daily newspapers as media, which emerged massively during the last decade having a higher daily circulation than the traditional newspapers and a young urban readership, have been rarely researched regarding to their contribution to the creation of public images. The main aim of this paper is to describe and to explain the social images of migrants and ethnic minorities which are produced by free daily newspapers in the city of Valencia. The rise of circulation and the importance of free daily papers for contemporary society is shown. Furthermore, in two empirical parts 213 newspaper articles about migration and ethnic minorities are analyzed with a quantitative and a qualitative approach. The analyzed articles show the making of a negative image of migrant population. This image can be explained by structural reasons of news production as for example the low level of elaboration or the preferred use of administrative and police sources. Furthermore there can be shown the existence of an underlying discursive structure which predetermines public knowledge about migrants.
