Summary/Abstract: Dorota Kudyba in the chapter “The Refugee Stereotype Across Polish Internet Portals” notes that since 2015 in Polish media the topic of refugees has gained significant popularity. The purpose of research was to analyze the discursive imagery of the emigration crisis on the example of publications in two popular internet portals: Onet.pl and Niezalezna.pl (24 items in total). The selected material dates back to 2016 since it was this very year when the phenomenon of migration clearly intensified and the media began to react to it rapidly and in a diverse way. Both aforementioned portals published news on refugees almost daily, contributing to their popularity. Most websites used messages provided by international news agencies or posted translations of articles that have already appeared abroad. Onet.pl coverage is shown to have been more inclined towards building a positive image of immigrants and reducing a critical tone, whereas Niezależna.pl, conversely, towards depicting the immigrants in a more negative way.
