Migrapolis

Migrapolis (1997- ) is a Norwegian award winning TV programme about the everyday lives of immigrants to Norway since 1997.

The programme's theme is multi-cultural Norway and it contains interviews with people of a different background than Norwegian. Migrapolis focuses on problems and cultural differences faced by immigrants to Norway. Its goal is to spotlight the positive and negative sides of the internationalisation of Norway. Earlier, the programme featured a multi-lingual news section with news in Vietnamese, Somali, Urdu and other languages. This has since been dropped.

In 2007 Migrapolis won Gullruten (the equivalent of the American Emmy award), for best show in the category of lifestyle programs.

In 2009 Migrapolis received an award for building bridges between people in Norway. The organisation " Norske Kirkeakademier" rewarded the television show for challenging prejudices in the Norwegian society and for showing how divers the minorities in the country are.

Migrapolis is on air every Wednesday on prime time. The show rates in average over 300 000 pr episode. This represents one third of the viewing audience when the program is aired.

The editorial staff represents a variety of different cultural and religious backgrounds.

Today Migrapolis is also a weekly radio show hosted by Dang Trinh.
