Minority issues arise, from within a small religious group or larger ethnic group living side by side with a majority ethnic/religious community, due to differing persuasions and aspirations.
Several causes can bring about minority communities-these are;
An ethnic group absorbed into a nation due to historical reasons-people brought into the country by colonial rulers to provide labor-people migrating to a country due to overcrowding in their own country-people who have escaped their country to neighboring countries as refugees-people who have migrated to a country looking for greener pastures-indigenous people who have become a minority in their own land because of migration from elsewhere-people who have developed separate identities because of their religion.
Minority groups may differ from majorities-by way of customs- not sharing the same likes and dislikes interests or concerns-liking to read newspapers that are different to that read by a majority-wanting news that reflect their own issues; minority news needs may be different from that of the rest of the population who represent a different background and they may want to know about their own sacred places and schemes to preserve their possibly disappearing languages.
