The concept of multiculturalism' obviously plays a significant role within media and migration research. The chapter aims at investigating how issues relating to ethnicity are made relevant in the daily work in the newsroom and are understood by the journalists themselves. The newsroom is known to be among NRK's most important multicultural arenas, mainly due to the relatively diverse composition of the workforce, and it has established good practices rules in the newsroom when it comes to diversity awareness.
