In comparing the discourses of the national media in these two different countries, it focuses on concepts such as ethnic identity, othering, and anti-Gypsyism, which are used as the basis for all the devices used in the media discourses of Bulgaria and the UK.\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\r\n\u003cp class=\"yiv1602533792msonormal21\"\u003e\u003cspan style=\"font-size: 10.0pt; font-family: 'Arial',sans-serif; color: #26282a;\"\u003e \u003c\/span\u003e\u003cspan style=\"font-size: 10.0pt; font-family: 'Arial',sans-serif; color: #26282a;\"\u003eThe book draws from analysis done on a comparative basis, outlining the similarities as well as the differences in the perceptions of the two media discourses on these communities. Furthermore, the book provides a diachronic perspective in comparing the media presentations on RGT communities from during the Covid-19 period to those featured at the beginning of the century (2001-2005).
