Summary/Abstract: The community of young people who have grown up in alternative care is present in the social processes of our country and is an integral part of our society. Due to the socio-psychological characteristics that the representatives of this group are often carriers of, in the research and normative literature, they are included in vulnerable groups and communities. The communicative aspects of the presentation of the media image of the group under study reflect themes of their socially and economically unprivileged position. On the one hand, the root causes of vulnerability among the study community are less frequently addressed in the media, but on the other hand, some key aspects of the concept are represented. Following European and international directives for solidarity and social inclusion of sub-groups of our society implies larger communication strategies to raise awareness reducing social disparities.
