Giving a media voice to children
The Children’s Rights Alliance for England (CRAE) has published a new report to help journalists promote children’s human rights and equality in the media.
The report is called 'Another Perspective' (pdf format, 639KB). It has the backing of the National Union of Journalists and was funded by the Equality and Human Rights Commission. The report looks at the powerful and far-reaching role journalists and editors can play in promoting children’s human rights, and in ensuring that children’s voices and experiences are fully reflected in the media.
Mike Lindsay, CRAE’s national co-ordinator, says:
‘The media plays a very powerful role in the lives of all children and young people, shaping the views of society towards them. We hope that 'Another Perspective' will support journalists and editors to take on the challenge of children’s human rights in the mainstream media.’
The report has comments from former and current journalists and from organisations about the role journalists play in representing and shaping children and childhood. Young children’s rights activists also share their experiences of dealing with the media.
