Gunilla Hultén Sweden, as many other
European countries, has been engaged in the debate concerning the relationships
between social cohesion and the media. The article examines the tension
between officially expressed attitudes and diversity goals of Swedish
newsrooms and how journalists who have foreign backgrounds perceive these.
Despite the intense discussions in recent years concerning media's role
in a multi-ethnic context Swedish media organizations have not yet developed
an effective means of promoting and implementing diversity in the newsrooms.
