The aim of the article is to analyze the securitization discourse that emerged in Slovenian TV news during the so-called refugee crisis in 2015. The article first describes the specificities of the migrant situation in Slovenia and provides a legal and policy frame. The article then focuses on theoretical premises by introducing notions of securitization and discourse. This is followed by an analysis of Slovenian TV news. The analysis shows how the rhetorics of exceptionality, criminalization, security, and militarization are constituents for what the article defines as securitization discourse. The author concludes with a reflection on securitization and governmentality.
