DISCUSSIONS
Journal 1
By reading the article the perceptions of people may get shuffled. It is an essential role of
media to bring celerity of thought to people and the article is quite useful with this regard. It has
presented number of events such as Dracula (BBC, 2020) and Killing Eve (BBC America, 2018).
With the development of mass media, specifically with internet media it is so handy to mislead
people. In UK the immigrants are being seen as evil and it is creating a vandalistic type of
nationalism.
Form the article it can be said with apex responsibility that the role of media is mammoth
in all forms of societies. It is a national issue to work on immigration but that does not allow
civilians to kill others in name of ethnic cleansing. The events are presented in logical manner to
articulate the ideas.
Journal 2
The national trends are showing that the country is having issue of immigration but
somehow the biggest issue is to take proper step to make these perils favourable. If such
immigrants are healthy and safe then they are less injurious, and they may even contribute to the
nation in term of economy. But this approach of throwing them out will not bring any good
outcome in long run.
The article may help audience to understand this issue and reflect smartly. There is need
to work in favour of betterment of nation. It is only possible by working in smart manner. The
nation is having need to work on these issues but it is not possible with such attitude of
politicians. Media are directly connected to people's heart and having good capability to make
them believe in certain notion so it can be concluded that if the media is sensitive and presenting
views in social manner then may pave the way for fetching drastic changes and eradication of
such immigration problem.
Journal 3
The journal presented great overview of the impacts Brexit would bring. There will be a
great issue since EU citizens would not remain same in term of their legal status. The
development of such print media is quite essential with this regard. It has targetted entire group
of EU citizens who are supposed to move or may be moved to UK. The media is playing vital
role to bring this technicality in easier format to its readers.

The report would be very much helpful for users because it is shaping minds of
politicians and think tankers, so they can take immediate and proper actions to counter the issues
may get driven in the future. There is need to impart severe contemplation in attempt to drive the
nation away from such perilous situations. This source is actually relevant and disclosing wider
insights of the prevailing circumstances. BY making deep focus on this report and taking
appropriate actions the roadblocks can be eradicated before they take place.
Book 4
For changing attitude of people the role of such source is very important. The article has
presented dark side of police just after end of war, and how they treated immigrants. It can be
related to the present issue. In UK between July 2019 to September 2020 more than 1.3 billion
people made entry.
The role of police becomes quite significant to manage the crisis before it takes place. BY
presenting proper picture the media may give deeper insights and can also change the perspective
to deal with such predicaments.
After Brexit the UK government is already facing some regional issues and at this point
the attitude towards immigrants would play significant role. It can be made favourable by
changing people and politicians perspective so the role of media is very much viable. If now
discriminatory policy practises are being taken into practise then may deteriorate the name of UK
government as a whole.
Book 5
In this book various legal factors has been contemplated. It brings deeper insights to
perceive that how legal loopholes are actually behind these issues. The all migrant groups are
being given equal attention but when it comes to accentuate upon, then the article has made
severe efforts to fetch legal celerity.
The key learning outcome says that the best way to deal with such issues and making
immigration issues reduced to fabricate strong and most suitable laws. It will not only reduce the
vague approach but will also bring sense of celerity to the readers.
Here, it can be seen that the media is behind framing of social direction, if the people are
aware of legal boundary then the possibility of taking unlawful actions get reduced. At the same
time it becomes easier for legitimation to work on the cited loopholes. Keeping these arguments
in mind, the diaspora media serves becomes more dynamic and fruitful.

CONCLUSION
Form the report above it can be concluded that the role of media is highly significant
since it makes some intensive changes in the attitude, emotions, perceptions of people. Over the
time the issue of migration has been escalated in UK. With this regard, some journals and articles
were presented above stating the role of media pertaining to the issue of immigration. By deeper
observation it can be reflected that the role of such media sources has always been quite
dynamic. They are the ones who are providing information to people and wide number of
population of nation or outside nation is using such tools in order to augment their understanding
so if they had presented radical views then the perception of people would go violent and vice
verse in other case.
There is need to find a peaceful and long-lasting approach to deal with immigration
problem. The nation is looking for such alternatives which could wipe out this issue with decent
method. The contribution which can be made by media becomes hyper and crucial to fabricate
the approach of people and society as a whole. The report discussed contribution of media in
different manner and how it may give better ways to deal with such obstacles.
