How Media Shapes Our Perception of Migrants

In the heart of Valletta, we took to the streets to ask a simple but powerful question:

Do you think the media representation of migrants influences how people view them?

As we spoke to locals and tourists alike, it quickly became clear that this topic resonates deeply with many. The answers varied, some respondents pointed out the negative narratives often portrayed in mainstream media, while others acknowledged the role of sensationalism in shaping fear or misunderstanding.

This short street interview in Valletta reminded us that behind every headline is a human being and behind every opinion, there’s often a media narrative influencing it.
