The paper aims to analyse the representation of migration and the narrative frames used in talk shows following the terrorist attacks that have affected Europe since 2015. Despite the undoubted importance of this format in the contemporary Tv system, thanks above all to its ability to reach many viewers, in this direction there are still few national and international empirical studies. This proposal is part of this context, which has its innovative element in the choice to focus on the me-dia space of the talk show. For this reason, after a preliminary analysis of the nar-rative frames used after the Charlie Hebdoterrorist attack, the authors will pay their attention in the television programmes that discussed the migration phenom-enon starting from the January 2015 Paris attacks, the New Year’s Eve sexual as-saults in Cologne and the 2016 Brussels bombings; which contributed to the trans-formation of the "framing" strategies about the issue.

Keywords: Talk show, migration, media representation, frame analysis, terrorism, journalism.
