This colloquy, part of the Council of Cultural Cooperation's project on migrants, examines the West German media's portrayal of foreigners residing in that country. Participants include media representatives from Europe and Canada. Discussion covers the portrayal of the foreigner in the press and on TV, the use of the media by foreigners, multilanguage programming, attempts to reach target groups through cable TV, and the progress made in multicultural programming in Sweden and the United Kingdom. In general, the media is viewed as neglecting the problems of migrants, particularly the complex relationship between the culture of origin and the host country. Participants confirm the need to extend, diversify, and improve the quality of media coverage about and for foreign minorities. It is recommended that the media give priority to the appropriate training of media professionals; to the active participation of communities of foreign origin in production and dissemination of information; and to greater cooperation with media professionals who cover foreign minorities and the multicultural nature of society. Extensive cooperation among European communities is urged to stimulate interchange and understanding among Europe's different cultures. The appendices include lists of program sponsors and working group participants as well as the full text of a paper by Antonio Perotti presented at the Colloquy. (CS)
