Media and Multiculturalita Website Project – A resource to combat discrimination in Italy

Keywords: Italy, media relations, campaign, initiative, discrimination, media campaign, project, website, ethnicity

The Media and Multiculturalita Website (www.MMC2000.net) was launched to focus specifically on the representation of ethnic media and media professionals with ethnic minority backgrounds in the Italian media. The website reports on relevant news throughout Europe, whilst also making available important legislation and codes of conduct in relation to the media and ethnic diversity. The website attempts to not only be a source of information about the media and diversity but also to facilitate future initiatives. A specific section is dedicated to studies and research, whilst another section “Be active!” provides a forum for campaigns against discrimination to be launched and supported. A newsletter associated with the website was also produced.
