Media can play a significant role in shaping public attitudes towards ethnic mi-norities nowadays. This situation can be well monitored in the case of the Roma. The analysis of the Agency for Social Inclusion has shown that the regional and local press has been biased about the Roma living in the Ústí Region. In 2012, the media contributed to evoking anti-Roma sentiments in Břeclav in the alleged Roma attack on a minor boy. Czech Television filmed several documentary series on the life of the Roma, however, viewers made racist comments towards the Roma on the Czech Television website during their broadcast. The media por-trayal of Vietnamese, both positive and negative, may be seen as well, however, sociological surveys of the Centre for Public Opinion Research show that public affinity towards Vietnamese is gradually increasing. Ethnic minorities in the Czech Republic have the opportunity to present their activities by means of their own periodicals, for this purpose they receive subsidies from the Ministry of Culture. Public media - Czech Television and Czech Radio - also pay constant attention to the activities of organizations and associations of ethnic minorities.
