Social representations play a huge role not only on journalism but on visibility and the construction of stereotypes which will assemble the reader's point of view. This study is intended to come across a problematic and to help us undercover their mistakes and to present a solution based on a multimedia project. In the last section a communicative product based on the self-production of a photo essay is presented, taking in consideration the parameters needed to reach inclusiveness and participation from the selected group.
