Achieving Media Responsibility in Multicultural Societies

Keywords: International, English, media, southeast Europe, citizenship, minorities, minority rights, Baudouin Foundation, resources for all, all media formats

The manual Achieving Media Responsibility in Multicultural Societies has been elaborated on the basis of the materials and opinions arising from an international conference held in Sofia, in 2005 within the framework of the ‘Minority Rights in Practice in Southeast Europe’ project initiated by the King Baudouin Foundation.

This resource pack of information material and advocacy briefs consists of 5 leaflets. The first three leaflets deal respectively with the international legal standards, with a regional cross section of the issues concerned and with effective practices of interaction between media, media structures and citizen organisations. The last two leaflets provide recommendations addressed to media, media regulatory bodies, national and international institutions and non-governmental organisations and set out principles for journalists and editors for ethical and professional coverage of ethnic issues.
