Abstract
This paper focuses on the discursive construction of refugees, migrants and asylum seekers in British and American liberal and conservative press in September 2015. The combination of corpus-based approach and CDA was used to proceed the data. The results indicate that in September 2015 migrants, refugees and asylum seekers were presented in a positive light. No crucial differences in representations in different sources were found, although conservative news sources tend to create a slightly more negative representation of people coming to Europe than liberal ones.
