This paper aims to present the representation of immigrants in the Croatian media, and the process itself will be presented on the example of a refugee crisis that started in 2015. In order to show the influence of the media properly, it is necessary to know more about the media, so the paper mentions the occurrence, forms and interpretations of the media, a chapter that serves as an explanation of the print media as the first media that after developed into other forms such as radio, television, but also the digital media. Just defining the media is not enough and it is important to show how the media is interpreted, the importance of media literacy (which is extremely important for younger Internet users, and primarily children). Additionally, the chapter on the media structure of reality will more closely illustrate how the media can manipulate masses and whether they carry subliminal messages along with the information they report. The close relation to the notion of media structure is linked to the framing concept and the problem of objectivity that occurs when the frames are constructed in the wrong way and then when the journalist's excessive subjectivity influences global objectivity and creates the wrong picture of a particular event. Because of the stronger reaction of citizens to bad news in journalism, they mostly prevail, and then the question whether the good news have a chance in comparison to those bad ones is really important. In this chapter it is written that the media are not only bad or good by themselves but largely depend on the creator of the information and interpretation of the final consumer, and accordingly, their positive and negative impacts are realized solely through the content that includes the context in which they are perceived. After the presentation of the media and their influence, the paper presents the immigration crisis, its causes and reporting of its course in the Republic of Croatia and the world. In the end, a large survey was conducted on 11 sites and the associated 165 articles and for the purpose of analyzing the contents of these articles, an analytical matrix was prepared beforehand. After reading and entering the data, the results were sorted into tables and interpreted. Following is a conclusion that combines all the theoretical and practical elements and concludes this work.
