This paper aims to present a discussion about the critical and active character of the Romani population as audience. Therefore, a theoretical revision will be done, examining audience studies that interpret the public from a perspective of passivity or agency. We will also discuss those studies that debate the particularities of media consumption by minorities. In the results, the reflexions by the interviewees will be presented, discussing how their community is represented in news reports in Spanish media. The methodology consisted of semi-structured interviews with 20 Romani women and men from Barcelona (Catalonia) between 2017 and 2019. To conclude, we highlight the critical capacity of the interlocutors in evaluating what is being produced about them in traditional media and also the use of digital environments to interact and produce their own contents.
