Are channels dedicated to specific minority ethnic groups and representations in programmes from these will be different from those from mainstream sources.
Channels present representations that are appreciated by their target audience but may be less engaging to groups outside the ethnic group.
Hybrid identities within minority ethnic, creaes more complexity when thinking about media representations.
Fusion music which combines two or more genres taken from different minority ethnic groups can be hard to categorise.
Roles are constructed from white perspective usually because they are produced by white media professionals.
Ethnic minority groups have been stereotyped, marginalised or excluded.

Representations of ethnic groups in EastEnders.
Can be seen a representing multi-ethnic community since a range of black or Asian characters take up significant roles.
Criticsed for using stereotypes by casting Asians as doctors and shopkeepers.
