The International Organization for Migration (IOM) with support from the European Union, today (06/12) launched the Return and Reintegration Platform.
Does the media contribute, consciously or not, to conveying a false and negative image of migration, by giving in to the stereotypes and conveying a biased point of view? And why? Is it a lack of knowledge about the issue? Lack of reliable data? Lack of time or means? Lack of thinking and boldness to challenge the actual clichés that could mainly be covered...

The relationship between migration and development is a key topic for research and policy.
