Research shows that news media around the world tend to represent ethnic minorities in ways which nurture distorted views and invite negative attitudes. Scholars have also emphasised that, in contemporary societies, a political climate has emerged which has made overt racism unacceptable and social taboos leading to racist statements are increasingly being managed and disguised in order to avoid direct accusations. In this paper we use Multimodal Critical Discourse Analysis (MCDA) to carry out an in-depth analysis of a Romanian television news report—selected from a larger corpus—which addressed the situation of the Roma migrants in Norway. We show how this medium, with editing techniques, voice-overs, sound effects and captions, has its own subtleties for communicating racism in ways that are less obvious at a casual viewing. The case we analyse reports on a Norwegian/EU project to build a factory in Romania, so that Roma migrants can return home to work rather than live and beg on the streets of Oslo.

电视新闻如何掩饰其种族主义言论：罗马尼亚Antena 1号案对罗姆人的报道

研究表明，世界各地的新闻媒体往往以培养歪曲观点并引起消极态度的方式代表少数民族。学者们还强调，在现代社会中，出现了一种政治气氛，这使得公然的种族主义变得不可接受，并且越来越多地管理和掩盖导致种族主义言论的社会禁忌，以避免直接指控。在本文中，我们使用多模式批判性话语分析（MCDA）对罗马尼亚电视新闻报道（从较大的语料库中选出）进行了深入分析，该报道处理了挪威罗姆移民的情况。我们展示了这种媒体如何借助编辑技术，配音，声音效果和字幕，具有自己的精妙之处，可以通过在休闲观看时不太明显的方式来传达种族主义。
