The Norwegian Human Rights House will on the 7th of December arrange a seminar that focuses on whether we in Norwegian media have hidden xenophobia and if so: of what does it consist? Which consequences may it have? Do the media contribute to an unnecessary polarization between “us” and “the others”, meaning those of another colour, religion or set of values? These and many more are the questions that The Norwegian Human Rights House wants to raise with well-known media personalities and investigators who are invited to the seminar. (05-DEC-06)
