Dear friends,<br>
<br>
For those of who interested in racism and the press, here is another
statement of mine - in the form of 10 short theses - summarizing my
presentation for the ECRI meeting on this topic last year. This meeting
should also be understood against the background of the international
debate about the anti-Mohammed Cartoons published in the Danish
newspaper <i>Jyllands Posten</i> early last year.<br>
<br>
The shortness of these theses makes them a bit more polemical than a
longer analysis that would include the usual hedges and qualifications.
It is obviously not stated nor implied that all journalists are
racists. Indeed, many journalists (and the IFJ - International
Federation of Journalists, Brussels) have for years protested against
the same practices. Also, many of the points apply to other forms of
elite discourse as well. <br>
<br>
Comments, as always, are welcome.<br>
<br>
Best wishes<br>
<br>
Teun<br>
