Indicator history

There are no known incentives to increase the participation of persons belonging to minorities in the media, except for the media programmes produced by the Alto Comissariado para a Imigração e Diálogo Intercultural (ACIDI) [High Commission for Immigration and Intercultural Dialogue]: the television programme "Nós" [Us] and the radio programme "Gente como Nós" [People like us].

The Council of Europe campaign "Speak Out Against Discrimination" was launched in Lisbon on the 9th of June 2009, in the presence of the High Commissioner for Immigration and Intercultural Dialogue, with the objective of raising the awareness of public opinion against discrimination, specially anti-semitism, islamophobia and anti-Roma feelings. It also aims to enhance the visibility of the cultural diversity by supporting the access of minority groups to professional careers in the media.
