Near FM are hosting an upcoming series of seminars Respect Words- Ethical Journalism in Media. These are aimed at online, print, and broadcast journalists interested in discussing ethics, codes and regulations and the responsibilities of traditional and online media in the context of hate speech.

Further themes include challenges and opportunities with regards to terminology, stereotyping and representation of groups in media reports and how this impacts on ethnic and religious minorities in Ireland.
