Summary/Abstract: Our contemporary world has a major feature: Globalization, but in spite of disappearance of the estate borders, there is still a virtual one most of the times impossible to trespass: culture diversity. Political and social representatives are conscious that a good cultural unity, tolerance and harmony between different cultures. Organisms and international institutions analyze interethnic conflict situations and establish reglementations to eliminate them. Governments must do their best to fully understand the ethnical group condition in their own country and in order to apply norms and tolerance principles, dialogue and diversity rights protection. Starting from this configuration of the contemporary world, we initiated a study in order to find out how the minorities condition in Romania reflects in press. As a research material we selected a group from the central and local written press. By studying the chosen material, we identified the ways how these problems are reflected in Romanian and we revealed the topics associated with these communities in press articles. Vast information, from a previous research, we took the liberty to understand the particularities of the journalists’ discourse but also of communities’ and outline a true image of the studied issue.
