The Image of Roma Population Reflected in the Pages of Romanian Review 'Revista 22' (2009-2017). From National to European Perspective

The present paper intends to be an incursion in the Romanian press by analyzing the articles about the Roma population from Romania or migrated abroad published in the review Revista 22, during the years 2009-2017. It is not about a very high number of articles, but the existent articles present daily persistent problems of Roma community. The poverty, lack of appropriate political representation, the missing education of Roma kids, their violent world and sometimes their illegal activities present this minority as a vulnerable category of Romanian society. The purpose of this paper is to present Roma existent problems in Romania with reverberations in Europe, from national to European perspective, and to identify possible solutions for improving Roma’s conditions of life in Romania.
