Abstract

ABSTRACT This study examines the one-minute news blocks aired during the 2018 FIFA World Cup games on Hungarian public television. The analysed short segments were used to direct viewer attention to a narrow range of migration-related news items and implemented reporting on the refugees as a framing device for domestic and international political conflicts. The topics provided a context for world events that overwhelmingly benefited the government’s narrative on the situation. This effect was achieved by a synergy of episodic and thematic frames that were used to explain the behaviour of political actors, substantially simplifying them to pro- and anti-immigration parties.
