The ‘Financial’ reports about the “Colorful but Colorblind” project that brought together Roma and non-Roma journalists to produce a series of 25 short films about the life of Roma communities in Central and Eastern Europe. The aim was to encourage a more nuanced coverage of Roma issues and a greater participation of Roma journalists in mainstream media operations. This project was chosen for the Sigma Delta Chi Award for Excellence in journalism in the digital media presentation. The short films, which cover a wide range of topics from early marriage, school and other inclusion programs to discrimination can be viewed at the project’s website
