Summary

As European countries experience growing immigration, the need for policies supporting immigrants’ cultural adaptation has intensified. Journalism plays a crucial role in this process, traditionally fostering a shared understanding among citizens and offering a common reference point to understand societal issues. However, little research addresses how immigrants navigate today’s digital news landscape, where the boundaries between countries are increasingly blurred. This study fills this gap by examining the news consumption of 30 immigrants in the Netherlands, including refugees, knowledge immigrants, and family immigrants.
