This paper analyzes the problem of the linguistic diversity in mass media in the European Union, taking into account the relations between languages, territories and identities, as well as the selection that makes mass media and therefore the visibility of some particular languages, social and power relations of the minority groups within the democratic societies. The author makes patent the necessity to take into account the linguistic claims beyond the merely cultural problem, since this one questions the public space and implies the redefinition of citizenship.
