abstract: This thesis explores the media discourses concerning highly-skilled Indian migrants within the United Kingdom, and within Australia and Canada as historically similar migrant-receiving countries; and also within India as a migrant-sending country. Covering a time of global economic crisis in 2007 – 2012, it engages in a discourse analysis of online news media articles and finds that five main macro-level frames appear throughout the receiving countries: the migrants as an economic positive or negative; as a societal positive or negative; or as an exploited group without reference to social gain or loss. In the sending country, migrants are presented as framed as ‘the norm’, the ‘everyday person’. We see that the media discourse interacts with political discourse and real-world events dynamically, and that the different circumstances of the Anglophone countries means that they have noticeable differences in conceptualising the issue of high-skilled Indian migration
