"The way in which migration is reported on can have damaging, and even fatal, impacts."
This guide is designed to be a tool for journalists, providing them with background information and guidelines for reporting on migration in South Africa. It seeks to create a greater understanding of the issues and facts around migration and offers tips on reporting on migration in an ethical, accurate, and objective manner. It has been compiled with input from organisations working on human rights and migration, such as the Scalabrini Centre of Cape Town, African Centre for Migration and Society, Sonke Gender Justice, the Consortium for Refugees and Migrants in South Africa, and many others. Although intended for journalists, it can also be useful for anyone interested in a deep analysis of the problems related to migration.
