'Gypsies, Tramps, And Thieves' How The Press Demonised Romanians
by Guest Mon Aug 18, 2014 7:53 am
British newspapers demonised Romanians as "gypsies, tramps and thieves" but insulted Bulgarians far less in the year preceeding the lifting of EU working restrictions.
Romanians were repeatedly associated with criminal wrongdoing by the press, but Bulgarians were not, according to a new report by Oxford University’s Migration Observatory which looked at the coverage between 2012 and 2013.
The analysis encompasses 4,000 articles, letters and comment pieces mentioning Romanians or Bulgarians, a total of more than 2.8 million words.
It found Romanians were lumped together as a "single group" of troublemakers with the vast majority of tabloid newspapers dubbing them members of gangs, criminals, beggars, thieves or squatters.
