In this chapter, we discuss the relation between ethnic minorities and the media through the ages and across different European countries. Drawing on findings regarding minority media in Spain, the United Kingdom (UK), Germany, Austria, Estonia, Finland, Sweden, and Russia, the chapter illustrates the role of minority media in a struggle for voice and just representation by ethnic minorities and migrant communities under specific historical and political constellations and against the backdrop of evolving media environments. Furthermore, minority media are discussed regarding their contribution to a sense of community, as well as cultural and political belonging for minority people.
