Unknown: This study looked at
how ethnic newspapers represent

00:00:03.000 --> 00:00:06.060
other groups. That's groups that
is groups other than their

00:00:06.060 --> 00:00:11.760
target audience. So we looked at
the amount of coverage of groups

00:00:11.760 --> 00:00:14.850
other than the target audience.
We looked at the nature of the

00:00:14.850 --> 00:00:18.600
coverage. And then we looked
more specifically as to whether

00:00:18.600 --> 00:00:24.420
the coverage follow the Canadian
press guidelines on when and how

00:00:24.420 --> 00:00:28.980
to mention race or ethnicity in
the story. The Canadian press

00:00:28.980 --> 00:00:33.210
guidelines say that race or
ethnicity, for instance, should

00:00:33.210 --> 00:00:37.080
only be mentioned when it's
absolutely relevant to a story.

00:00:37.320 --> 00:00:41.070
So for instance, if the story is
about the deportation of

00:00:41.070 --> 00:00:44.640
somebody to Afghanistan, it's
obviously relevant to mention

00:00:44.640 --> 00:00:47.640
that they're of Afghan origin.
But the story about a bank

00:00:47.640 --> 00:00:50.580
robbery where they caught the
bad guy wouldn't mention that

00:00:50.580 --> 00:00:55.440
the person is a black or
Pakistani, for instance, because

00:00:55.440 --> 00:00:58.080
there'd be no reason to to
mention that. But if they didn't

00:00:58.080 --> 00:01:00.840
catch the person who robbed the
bank, it would be of course

00:01:00.840 --> 00:01:03.180
legitimate to put out a
description of the person but

00:01:03.180 --> 00:01:07.230
you wouldn't say the perpetrator
was black and include no other

00:01:07.230 --> 00:01:09.840
details, because of course,
you're just saying opening the

00:01:09.840 --> 00:01:12.810
whole community up to being
accused. You would have to be

00:01:12.810 --> 00:01:16.110
providing information that could
reasonably help people identify

00:01:16.110 --> 00:01:16.680
the person
