was conducted between the UK Red Cross and the Pakistani Red Crescent to get a better idea of the needs and circumstances of the Pakistani communities who have settled in the UK. Partnerships with Media A final area of potentially very powerful partnerships exists between the media and other stakeholders. The ability of the media to affect public perception of migrants by casting them either as being beneficial or burdensome to the host society can have a determinative effect on integration and social cohesion. For this reason and others, participants valued media as an important partner in the integration process. The role of the media can be twofold: On one hand, the media can help governments, migrant associations, and other civil society organizations to disseminate accurate and unbiased information about the realities of migration. By portraying the human side of migration as well as the positive aspects of diversity and multiculturalism, media can complement integration efforts made by other stakeholders. Portugal, for instance, has mentioned specific plans to sensitize media to their important responsibility in this area. On the other hand, media provides a channel of communication with migrants themselves. The Internet and media resources such as newspapers, imported from countries of origin, help diasporas to stay in touch with their home countries. In countries with large and established migrant communities specialized media has frequently developed to cater to these specific groups by reporting in the migrants’ native language on issues relevant to the country of destination. lastly, bilingual programming can support the acquisition of language skills by migrants as well as granting members of the host society access to the language, culture and issues relevant to migrants. This can contribute significantly to cross-cultural understanding and social and cultural integration. 57
A number of speakers mentioned the power of the media and the need for robust partnerships between media and other stakeholders, including governments, cultural organizations, and the private sector. Partnerships with media can contribute to a better understanding of government policies and economic effects of migration and integration, and tolerance can be promoted, all of which facilitate integration. 58
