Indicator history

“[the media] use incorrect language and terminology and the voice of migrants is absent in newspapers and on TV”, (p.27 Enar Shadow Report 2009/2010). There are some good attemps as the following: “in 2008, another step towards a fairer representation of migrants in the media has been made in 2010 with the creation of ANSI, the national association of intercultural media. Acknowledged by the National Federation of Press, the association was born after a long process taken forward by multicultural journalists, experts, trade unions and the national order of journalists. The NGO Cospe www.cospe-fi.it , actively working for the promotion of cultural diversity in the media for over 10 years, had a crucial role in facilitating and supporting the process, still allowing multicultural journalists to be the protagonists . The main objectives of ANSI are to promote multiculturalism as a key element of journalism in Italy, promote policies on diversity in the media, and facilitate the access to the professional order for non Italian journalists defending their rights. ANSI intend to promote exchange of good practices at the international level” (p.28, Enar Shadow Report 2009/2010).
