Media has no negative effect on the Sami indigenous people. Media instead highlights the rich culture of the Sami, especially their language that is spoken. For example, the Sami have 300 words that mean "snow", but each word has its own precise definition. Also, the media's interests revolves around how the Sami are able to live in the harsh climate regions of Sweden,Norway. and parts of Russia. Due to the media, Sweden has recognized the Sami tribe. Sweden has granted the Sami people special protection and rights that benefit them till this day.
