 Migrant Voice - Morning Star covers launch of MV report on media coverage of migration during Covid-19

On 16 December, the Morning Star published an article about a Migrant Voice report, published the same day. The report was the result of extensive research into UK media coverage of migration during the first Covid-19 lockdown.

As well as presenting the key findings, the article quotes Migrant Voice Director Nazek Ramadan expressing concern that the "categorisation of migrants as heroes, threats or victims entrenches a narrative that says some migrants are more deserving of rights and respect than others.

"When you suggest that someone must have a certain job or behave a certain way to be worthy of a place and fair treatment in the UK, you undermine the idea that ‘we are all in this together’."
