Abstract
In 2015 and 2016, the word, “refugee,” filled newspaper headlines. While refugees have received considerable media attention, few recent scholarly works address local level news coverage in the United States. Using quantitative and qualitative analysis, we find that local news coverage of both local stories and national/international news is largely receptive toward refugees. However, we find variation across local contexts that receive the most and the fewest refugees, lending support to the role that intergroup contact plays in media reporting.
