psychosoziales Befinden
Overall, the programme was positively perceived, and its coverage contributed to a significant dissemination to the entire community. However, these articles served an even more significant function: they helped convey a different image of the group. [...] In fact, this process represented a sort of redemption for the group, who explicitly recognised it and expressed it: "We feel more accepted by the place." (V) "Everyone can read [on the newspaper] what we do." (I) "Especially the elders, who are the ones who read the newspapers, who watch the news, who used to make videos and send them to the newspapers, complaining about the station, you have to do something… instead now, reading our interviews in the newspaper, people have seen that we do not just mess around. They used to think that those who are in the station only cause trouble, but we also do other things." (Q)
