This article examines media consumption in highly diverse districts in Spain as representative of
recent changes in this field due to new immigration to countries in Southern Europe in times of
crisis. Drawing on findings from two surveys, we observed a decrease in access to media
specifically aimed at audiences of minority cultures between 2010 and 2012. It is suggested that
this decline is not due to a modification in media consumption habits by minority groups, but
rather the economic crisis of 2008. Furthermore, we study the consumption of minority media
by natives: we observe that youth and more educated individuals consume other cultures’
minority media to a greater extent, particularly the press, radio, and Internet news sources. We
suggest that elements are present that public administrations could utilize to further develop a
multi-ethnic public sphere. Finally, we explore the emergence of a new transnational dimension
to the multi-ethnic public sphere.
