Abstract: This paper discusses the role news images play in framing Romanian immigrants to the UK and how they construct the social issue of migration, in the context of freedom of movement for workers in Great Britain. In doing so, it focuses on the stereotypes about Romanians embedded in visuals published in national newspapers and on framing devices as semiotic resources.
