ln the article, the author studies the duality and inconstancy of the Australian multiethnic space and the fields of media reporting. The media (the mainstream ones as well as the ethnic, multicultural) are opening new space to a broader and faster multicultural communication, and influence the shaping of representations of individual ethnicities in a multicultural environment. Recent, interactive media are changing the perception and understanding of ethnic symbols and symbolic ethnic identities. The author assigns special emphasis to Slovenian ethnic symbols in Australian space, and the perception of ethnic identity among the younger generations, the descendants of Slovenians in Australia.
