Abstract
STEREOTYPE IS THE NUMBER ONE ENEMY OF THE ROMA PEOPLE'S IMAGE IN ALL SOURCES OF DAILY INFORMATION; MASS MEDIA DOES NOT DISREGARD THESE STEREOTYPES WHICH HAVE FORMED AROUND THIS PEOPLE WITH THEIR OWN VAGUE AND SOCIAL CULT URE, WITH BIG DEFICIENCIES THAT ARE DIFFICULT TO CORRECT.OFTEN THE CULTURE OF THE ROMA PEOPLE EVERYWHERE IS SOMEHOW TREATED AS A CURIOSITY OR AS AN ANOMALY OF THE CONTEMPORARY SOCIETY, AND THE MEDIA LEVERAGES THIS TO GET RATING POINTS WHILE MISSING A NOBLE PRIMORDIAL PURPOSE TO HELP THEM. DUE TO MANY UNDESIRED FACTORS, YET PROMOTED BY CONTEMPORARY JOURNALISM, THIS OFTEN LEADS TO THE SOCIAL DOWNFALL OF MINORITIES BY ALTERING THEIR IMAGE AND MARGINALIZING THEM OR, ACCORDING TO HISTORY, ISOLATING THEM IN COLON IES AND DEPRIVING THEM EVEN OF THEIR CONSTITUTIONAL RIGHTS. MORE OFTEN THAN NOT, THE REACTION IS NEGATIVE AND UNWANTED, EXEMPLIFIED BY MASS IMMIGRATION OR HIGH CRIME RATE IN AREAS INHABITED BY THE ROMA PEOPLE.
