Cultural diversity and minorities’s dynamics in the local and central press

Abstract

Our contemporary world has a major feature: Globalization,
but in spite of disappearance of the estate borders, there is
still a virtual one most of the times impossible to trespass:
culture diversity. Political and social representatives are
conscious that a good cultural unity, tolerance and harmony
between different cultures. Organisms and international
institutions analyze interethnic conflict situations and
establish reglementations to eliminate them. Governments
must do their best to fully understand the ethnical group
condition in their own country and in order to apply norms
and tolerance principles, dialogue and diversity rights
protection.
Starting from this configuration of the contemporary world,
we initiated a study in order to find out how the minorities
condition in Romania reflects in press. As a research
material we selected a group from the central and local
written press. By studying the chosen material, we
identified the ways how these problems are reflected in
Romanian and we revealed the topics associated with these
communities in press articles. Vast information, from a
previous research, we took the liberty to understand the
particularities of the journalists’ discourse but also of
communities’ and outline a true image of the studied issue.
