      ab: This study examines how international migration has been securitized through media discourses from September 11, 2001 to the present. Within the framework of the Copenhagen School's securitization theory, this analysis investigates how migrants are constructed as social threats and how these discourses shape the perception of security within society. It has been determined that the media often presents migrants as "potential threats," and that such discourses, by emphasizing cultural and ethnic distinctions, lead to social polarization. The study employed qualitative discourse analysis as its methodology, examining news articles from 2015 to 2024 in Turkey's high-circulation national newspapers (Hürriyet, Sabah, Sözcü, Cumhuriyet) selected through purposive sampling. The analysis process involved coding the headlines, blurbs, and text of the news articles, identifying metaphors and framing strategies, and interpreting these findings in the context of securitization theory. In addition, secondary data analysis using statistics from institutions such as UNHCR, IOM, and Eurostat was used to reveal international migration trends. The study reveals that media discourse not only shapes social perceptions but also influences political decision-making processes, thereby reinforcing the securitization of migration at the institutional level. Consequently, security-centered discourse produced by the media contributes to the negative positioning of migrants and the formation of a public perception that legitimizes this framing. These findings indicate that the relationship between migration and security will continue to be a defining factor in the future. Therefore, strengthening media literacy and critical discourse analysis is critical for developing a more balanced and human rights-based approach to migration.
