Abstract
At this time in history, there have never been as many people displaced. How the problem has developed and expanded, as well as how media portrays refugees, are actively shaped by journalists, giving nations a unique cognitive platform to handle refugee issues and introduce policies in line with those needs.An important tool for dissecting the policy process and its policy implications, the multi-source theory analytical framework can provide new explanatory perspectives to explain the relationship between media coverage and the development of refugee policy in the UK. The paper assesses the driving role of media feedback mechanisms in the development of UK refugee policy using the issue, policy, and political source streams of the multi-source stream theory framework, using UK media coverage of the refugee Olympic delegation since 2016 as a vehicle. The issue stream, which uses media feedback as a cognitive mechanism, is not the main driver of the UK refugee policy agenda; the political and policy streams are more critical drivers in the government's policy development.
