Has the BBC reduced its coverage of the migrant crisis?

Do you remember the migrants? All those people coming here across land and sea, from North Africa and Arabia and the Indian sub-continent? In boats, sometimes. Occasionally on foot. The BBC used to lead the news with it almost every night. I’m sure I remember them doing that. Tearful migrants who only want a better life, etc.

I ask because I have seen a lot less of them recently. And yet I am prepared to bet that the numbers trying to get in have not remotely decreased – probably quite the opposite. So can anyone suggest why this is a less attractive news story to the BBC than once it was? Or am I being paranoid?
