08/23/2006 Homoseksualci su fini, pristojni, obrazovani, bogati i dobri gosti. Istovremeno, oni su nemoralni, razuzdani, egzibicionistički raspoloženi i samo im je seks na pameti. To su otprilike stereotipne koordinate između kojih se čitavo ljeto u određenim medijima piše o demoniziranim homoseksualnim turistima netaknutog i nevinog Jadrana.

08/17/2006 Kako je prenio Glas Slavonije, Hrvatsko novinarsko društvo (HND) i Vijeće za medije Hrvatskog helsinškog odbora za ljudska prava (HHO) pokrenuli su inicijativu za osnivanje vijeća za medije kao novog samoregulatornog tijela za medijsku etiku u kojem bi uz predstavnike novinara sudjelovali i predstavnici izdavača. Pokretači ove inicijative smatraju kako bi sudjelovanje u ovakvom tijelu vlasnike i izdavače dovelo u odgovorniji položaj i u situacijama kad se krši profesionalna etika.
