The Solution

Editorial Independence is the shield against the conflict of interest of being beholden. It is resisting the influence of sponsors and those with a political, personal or any hidden agenda the hallmark of any public service media. A 2002 UNESCO Background Paper, Racism, Racial Discrimination and Related Intolerance Relating To the Media, Including New Information Technologie, the author Bent SØrensen Argues Ethnic Minorities will form an increasingly important sector of the population over the next few decades, and the media has a special role to play in educating the public by highlighting the growing diversity in their societies and audiences. A multi-cultural media policy both in reporting and employment can have a profound effect on the perceptions and attitudes of public.

The solution is to expand opportunities to all minorities incorporating their cultural and ethnic perspective.
