According to polls, the proportion of Czech respondents who perceived irregular migration as a real and serious security threat doubled from 32% in 2014 to 65% in 2015. By means of a content analysis of the news stories published by three Czech online news portals, this study examines the extent to which images of a threat and an appeal for security were part of the media coverage of the European migration crisis. While only small differences in extent were observed among the three portals, the findings suggest that the crisis was depicted mainly in terms of governance, i.e. as a burden to the state or as a security threat. All three news portals gave prominence to qualities like urgency, extraordinariness, overload and insecurity, and attributed these qualities to the figure of an indefinite wave of migrants heading to Europe. The humanitarian dimension of the reported events was marginalised. The findings indicate a striking dependence on institutional sources, mainly government officials. Almost exclusive salience was given to the governmental agenda. Authorship of every other news story was assigned to the Czech Press Agency. Aforementioned partial characteristics of the coverage resulted in highly politicized image of the crisis, which to considerable extent was presented as a security threat.

Poniższy tekst omawia problemy związane z badaniem migracji nieformalnej, która tradycyjnie postrzegana jest jako ułomna forma migracji formalnej, co wynika z hierarchicznej konstrukcji naszego aparatu badawczego. Oprócz sprzeczności logicznej, wynikającej ze stosowania tej samej metody dla zjawiska pozbawionego formy jak i dla zjawiska formalnego, podejście to stanowi główny problem badań nad zjawiskami nieformalnymi. W obecnym dyskursie migracja nieformalna jawi się jako funkcja przepisów prawnych specyficznych dla danego kraju i sposobu ich wdrażania, a samo istnienie trasy migracyjnej nie jest uważane za ważny czynnik wpływający na jej kształt, w związku z czym jest to zjawisko któremu nie poświęca się wiele uwagi. Niniejszy tekst uzupełnia tę lukę w badaniach poprzez przytoczenie przykładów empirycznych, pochodzących z wybranych europejskich tras migracyjnych.

Research on so-called irregular or informal migration has traditionally been done within the same hierarchically structured conceptual framework as research on formal, that is, regular migration, as if form and not–form were the same. In the dominant discourse, informal migration is perceived as a function of country-specific legal regulations and their implementation, while routes are rarely discussed as a factor shaping migration.The article fills the gap by quoting empirical examples from European routes, in which, in interviews, informal migrants openly admitted that the proximity of the route and the accessibility of transport were the major factors influencing their decisions to migrate.
