Since the 2010 earthquake in Haiti, a steady stream of immigration of inhabitants from that country to Brazil began. This article considers the survey and analysis of material published by the newspaper Gazeta do Povo, in Curitiba, PR, on the immigration of Haitians in the first half of 2014. The choice of theme is justified by the considerable number of these immigrants in Curitiba, as well as by the implications and contributions the research can offer to the communication area in front of a global immigration scenario. The work reflected on the problems of migration, on the identity of the groups involved and on the communication in the sphere of a migration scenario. The paper assumes that the media press still has a key role in democratic societies and that it does not emphasize the immigrant as a cultural being, but prioritizes the economic bias. Empirically, a content analysis of published materials was realized to understand the representation built on Haitians in the newspaper.
