In this paper, Rachel Morris, coordinator of the Traveller Law Research Unit at the Cardiff Law School, argues that the print media commonly represents travellers in a stereotypical and prejudicial fashion. The press argues that its negative images of travellers simply reflect public opinion.
While this may be correct, Morris concludes that it is the role of the media to counter such racial assumptions and simplifications rather than condone them.
