In their UK Report, the European Commission against Racism and Intolerance recommends opening platforms of debates between the media and local communities:

 “ECRI encourages the authorities of the United Kingdom to impress on the media, without encroaching on their editorial independence, the need to ensure that reporting does not contribute to creating an atmosphere of hostility and rejection towards asylum seekers, refugees and immigrants or members of any minority group, including Roma/Gypsies, Travellers and Muslims, and the need to play a proactive role in countering such an atmosphere. ECRI recommends that the authorities of the United Kingdom engage in a debate with the media and members of other relevant civil society groups on how this could best be achieved. It recommends that any successful initiatives developed at local level in this field, be reproduced on a broader scale at national level”
