Presentation excerpt
This manual was prepared by the technical team of the Global News Agency with the support of the United Nations Children's Fund (UNICEF) Paraguay and has the objective of providing journalists with a work tool that allows them to strengthen a consistent professional practice that is respectful of the rights of children and adolescents.
The strategic role of the media places them before the challenge of carrying out their task with deep social responsibility, aware of their ability to influence the public agenda, in such a way as to collaborate with the development of society, since it is known that the topics ruled by the media are more likely to be attended to.
Convinced of this, we present this “Childhood and Journalism Manual” to journalists and the media, with basic information on the regulatory framework related to children's rights, as well as some general guidelines for a quality professional practice, respectful of these rights. . To achieve this, a great effort is not necessary, but simply the strong commitment and the conviction that we all have the responsibility to give our contribution to society from the place where we have to act. We hope that this publication can add value to journalistic work, mainly on issues related to childhood and adolescence.
