Stereotypes and prejudices give distorted views on certain events or people. Very often they are generalized and as such spread rapidly. Research shows that the prejudices and stereotypes are often presented in the media (Kanižaj, 2006: 13). Among them, ethnic stereotypes stand out in particular. Since it is up to the media to shape public opinion, they should work on eradicating stereotypes. Detailed reports on minorities demolish the long-standing stereotypes. The level of democratic political culture is assessed by taking the treatment of ethnic minorities into account (Kanižaj, 2006: 13). Therefore, it is very important to do research and reports on ethnic minorities because they are many times portrayed in the media differently, with frequent use of prejudice and stereotypes (Kanižaj, 2006: 14).
