This study looked at how ethnic newspapers represent other groups. That's groups that is groups other than their target audience. So we looked at the amount of coverage of groups other than the target audience. We looked at the nature of the coverage. And then we looked more specifically as to whether the coverage follow the Canadian press guidelines on when and how to mention race or ethnicity in the story. The Canadian press guidelines say that race or ethnicity, for instance, should only be mentioned when it's absolutely relevant to a story. So for instance, if the story is about the deportation of somebody to Afghanistan, it's obviously relevant to mention that they're of Afghan origin. But the story about a bank robbery where they caught the bad guy wouldn't mention that the person is a black or Pakistani, for instance, because there'd be no reason to to mention that. But if they didn't catch the person who robbed the bank, it would be of course legitimate to put out a description of the person but you wouldn't say the perpetrator was black and include no other details, because of course, you're just saying opening the whole community up to being accused. You would have to be providing information that could reasonably help people identify the person
