Session 3: Minority representation in the media, including social media (panel)
Monday November 9, 2026 10:00am - 10:30am CET
Room XX
In this panel, the Forum will explore the role of traditional and social media in shaping public perceptions of minorities. The panel will be focused on both challenges and opportunities that minorities face in portraying themselves in the media. The Forum will examine how minorities are often misrepresented through scapegoating, polarizing rhetoric, hate speech and disinformation campaigns. Examples of inclusive and positive media discourse will also be highlighted. A key focus will be on addressing algorithmic biases in social media to prevent the marginalization and stereotyping of minority groups. The Forum will also explore multilingual and minority language media, showcasing how media platforms can preserve and promote minority cultures and traditions. Participants will reflect on good practices that foster diversity and encourage a more inclusive and accurate representation of minorities in the media.
