Combating Hate Speech in Print and Broadcast Media

This is the third of three one day seminars as part of the EU project Respect Words - Ethical Journalism against Hate Speech where we will be asking the questions:

• What challenges and opportunities are there with regards to terminology, stereotyping and representation of groups in media reports?
