Migrapolis

Migrapolis (1997-2016) was a Norwegian award-winning TV programme about the everyday lives of immigrants in Norway since 1997.

Migrapolis focuses on problems and cultural differences faced by immigrants in Norway. Its goal is to spotlight the positive and negative sides of the internationalisation of Norway.

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 diverse the minorities in the country are.

Migrapolis was on the air every Wednesday on prime time. The show was rated in average over 300 000 pr. episode. This represented one third of the viewing audience when the programme was aired.

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

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