Abstract

Respect for a refugee from the Middle East in social media. For humanitarian organizations, Facebook is one of the most important social channels of communication with recipients and donors, which is why this communicator was the focus of attention, excluding Instagram, Twitter and other media used to promote the organization. The article deals with the issue of presenting refugees on Facebook by non-governmental organizations. The way in which the image of a refugee is created has an impact on shaping public opinion in social media. The leading question in this paper is: do the organizations accurately represent the image of an asylum seeker? The study discusses good practices for presenting the image of a refugee and the dangers of presenting this image incorrectly. Issues related to the responsible role of non-governmental organizations in creating the image of a refugee from the Middle East were discussed. The article uses the literature on the subject, content analysis, and quantitative analysis of NGOs’ Facebook posts.
