Project

Racism and cultural diversity in the media

Acronym _/ Project ID: 42
Start date 22/06/2000
End date 30/03/2001 ( Completed )
Description

This project aims to chart good and bad practices in media reporting on ethnic issues, immigration and racism across EU member states. This is done by taking stock of the existing research on racism and cultural diversity in the media published in the period 1995-2000. The report presents a research overview of mass media (radio, TV, press) in the Member States, regarding the way racism, antiracism and multiculturalism has been covered and the way the mass media have worked to promote cultural diversity and integration. Questions answered for each Member State and all Member States compared:

  • What kind of documents (research reports, national overviews, investigations) have been produced in the last five years (1995-2000), describing and analysing the way mass media have covered racism, antiracism/multiculturalism and the way mass media have prevented racism and promoted racial equality/human rights? What are the main findings?
  • What are the main differences and the main similarities between the mass media in the Member States regarding these issues? What kind of recommendations can be formulated based on the comparison between the Member States?
  • Output

    Report for the European Monitoring Centre on Racism and Xenophobia. ( EUMC ) See publications, reports Jessika terWal.
