Abstract
This study aimed to understand the roles of Nigerian mass media in the integration of migrants in host communities. The study is anchored on critical theory which emphasizes the need for the media to expand the scope of social interactions in the area of migration and community. The survey research method was adopted for the study. From the population of 4, 170, 000 (which is the population of the selected state capitals in the south-east namely; Umuahia, Abakaliki, Owerri, Awka and Enugu), the Yaro Yamane’s formula was used to arrive at a sample size of 400. Using multi-stage sampling techniques, the researchers were able to distribute 400 copies of the questionnaire to the respondents across the state capitals of the five states of Abia, Anambra, Enugu Ebonyi and Imo State. The study found that Nigerian media portrayal of migrant has a way of shaping the perception of the people in the communities. These perceptions in some cases were positive and in other cases negative. It was therefore recommended that Nigerian media should choose ways or frames that will encourage societal inclusiveness for migrants in different communities across the country.
