Abstract :This paper deals with the study of the relation of the journalistic discourse, broadcast by the Greek media, to the cultivation of stereotypes and prejudices. In particular, we examine the stereotypes that emerge and are maintained in relation to ethnicity, sexism, and the position of women in society, the cultivated images regarding different states etc.Moreover, emphasis is given on linguistic representations of these "prefabricated” beliefs regarding classes of individuals, groups or objects, which do not arise from a contemporary assessment of each phenomenon, but, from judgment mechanical habits and expectations. In this context illustrative examples are presented, regarding the use of words and clichéd phrases, which are very common in modern Greek journalistic discourse.Keywords : Stereotypes, linguistic diversity, journalistic discourse, critical discourse analysis, pop language
