French term or phrase: espaces de diffusion
It's a document about measures to enhance the cultural identity and cultural heritage of Roma (gypsies). This is a bullet point taken from a table:

"- Intégrer des espaces de diffusion positivant l'image des Roms (traditions, exemples de pratiques positives) dans les journaux, postes radio et télévision"

I presume they mean newspaper articles and television/radio reports, but I'm not sure whether there is an overall term for this, or whether I'm missing something!
