This article is devoted to the analysis of tolerance towards national minorities in Lithuania. The article combines the analysis of the phenomenon of tolerance as a core social value and the analysis of empirical evidence of tolerance in the Lithuanian society. The scientific investigation of empirical situation is based on the secondary analysis of sociological data. Tolerance is one of the social values that are present and protected in modern multicultural democratic societies. Even thought the level of social tolerance varies from country to country and within time periods, Europe remains a perfect example of practices of social tolerance. In general, the level of tolerance is altering and depends on many factors, such as the level of urbanisation, multiculturalism, historical development, the development of the state, etc. In this article, the factors of multiculturalism and urbanisation are analysed in a more precise manner. Lithuania, due to its historical experience and geopolitical situation, is one of the European countries that are multicultural and have a long history of national minorities living in the country. According to the data of sociological research, the majority of the Lithuanian population is tolerant towards national minorities. Even though one third of the population express some kind of negative attitudes towards national minorities, it is necessary to stress that these negative attitudes are almost absent in everyday life of the society.

The tolerance is apprehensible as value which if achieved can consolidate nations, prevent discrimination and assure peace and unity in the entire world. The role of media is very important because it represent the interest of community and has a possibility to influence our attitudes, opinions and thinking. So media can help to preserve the tolerance in community, promote and guide democratic values, protect ideals of the equality. The object of this master's paper is the expression of tolerance in Lithuanian periodical press. The aim of the paper is to analyze the problem of tolerance in Lithuanian periodical press. Papers goals are to explore the conception of tolerance, review the role of tolerance in the alterations of the community, explore the media's influence on tolerance and analyze the role of rumors, gossips and objectivity in media. In order to analyze the problem of tolerance in Lithuanian press (in the newspapers "Lietuvos rytas" and "Vakaro žinios"), master's work presents the analysis of the peculiarities of the Romany presentation in press. The methods of the analysis are information gathering, analysis of the data, comparative quantitative and qualitative analysis. Analysis reveals that tolerance means respect and acceptance of the persuasions, attitudes and values of the otherwise thinking people without reference to their gender or race or other differences. Tolerance has a close connection with human rights, which must be ensured by every democratic state. This research reveals that there is lack of tolerance in most popular periodical press in Lithuania. The presentation of the Romany ethnicity in analyzed newspapers is in particular unfavorable. It shows the dominance of the negative information about this ethnic minority. The Romany people are presented only as a felony group. Media highlights their criminal offences, conflicts with the governmental institutions and their negative features of character. It can be an inducement for community to form a low opinion of the Romany and bad stereotypes about them. This master's paper is important for it's originality, because there have not been any research on tolerance in Lithuanian press. The master's paper can be useful to the experienced scientists and the beginners, to practicing journalists and students, lectures, newspaper editors and readers.

Tolerancija "kitokiems" visuomenės nariams neabejotinai yra vienas svarbiausių demokratinių Europos visuomenių vertybinių sistemų elementų. Tolerancijos lygis yra kintantis ir priklauso nuo daugybės veiksnių. Šiame straipsnyje ypač daug dėmesio skiriama urbanizacijos, daugiatautiškumo ir tautinės tolerancijos sąsajoms. Nagrinėjant Lietuvos situaciją, remiamasi pastarųjų metų sociologiniais tyrimais, nagrinėjamas tautinės sanklodos Vilniuje ir visoje Lietuvoje kitimas bei susiformavusios bendrabūvio tradicijos.
Tolerance is one of the most widely recognised values in the world's democratic states. A society creates tolerance by choosing certain values and nurturing or condemning certain ways of behaving. Democratic countries value equality and the peaceful coexistence of the various groups. In every period, different social groups were and are tolerated differently. Problems with tolerance and discrimination of certain individuals and groups have today also become a centre of attention for scientists and the entire society.

The purpose of this paper is to analyze and interpret tolerance practices in historical and contemporary Lithuania, drawing more consistently on the concepts and conceptions of tolerance and insights from current theoretical debates on tolerance. Moreover, we intend to actualize the re-flections on the variants of tolerance in the old Lithuania and especially in the Lithuanian democracy and partly in Lithuanian historiography of the beginning of the 21st century. It is crucial to under-stand the status of tolerance in present-day Lithuania, how it works in late modernity, with special reference to the situation of ethnic minorities.The article notes that the biggest problem we face today is that tolerance is not enough to overcome our moral problems. In particular, pervasive tolerance as a joyful acceptance of differences and open-ness to everything is not enough. In the author's opinion, citizenship of juristic state, like tolerance, is not a sufficient basis for generality. We have to talk about true integration of society, without identi-fying it in rhetoric with assimilation or merely "minority integration", as is still the case in Lithuanian public space and often in the works of historians. It means being more aware that you are part of the same world, of a particular community with common affinities, a common history.
