'MediaRelate: Understanding Media Images
of Love, Sex and Relationships'
Media Relate is a practical media and sex education project that
has resulted in the publication of a set of teaching materials,
including a booklet, a DVD and a website. The project emerges
from our earlier research in this field, which demonstrated young
people's enthusiasm for learning about personal and sexual issues
from the media rather than from parents or school. (See the report,
'Children, Media and Personal Relationships' (www.mediarelate.org),
and book, 'Young People, Sex and the Media: the facts of life?',
by David Buckingham and Sara Bragg (2004, Palgrave Macmillan)).

Producing your own media - A Free Toolkit
from CIVICUS
Media is a powerful tool we can use to communicate our messages
and advance our work as civil society organisations. Our media
landscape is, however, largely dominated by the mass media, produced
for, and in pursuit of profit. It reflects certain interests.
Often it handles issues in a sensational way.

Print Media Coverage on Child Sexual
Abuse and Children's Perception in Nepal 2004

pdf - 126 KB
"Print Media Coverage on Child Sexual Abuse and Children's
Perception" is an attempt of the Hatmalo Sanchar to bring
a very sensitive issue directly affecting children to the limelight.
The concept to carry out study on child sexual abuse in relation
to media coverage is developed in reference to the second report
of "Print media coverage on children issue: A report 2003".
The study was conducted to see media coverage on the basis of
four categories of child rights i.e., rights to survival, development,
protection and participation. The findings of the report show
that the media has given third priority while publishing issues
of child sexual abuse under the category of child rights to Protection.
Since child sexual abuse is a very sensitive and concerned issue,
it should be dealt with apt seriousness, especially by media.
In such backdrop, Hatemalo felt the need to study print
media coverage on child sexual abuse particularly rape cases,
along with children's perception on the published news.
The report has been prepared with the account of randomly chosen
documented 105 news/articles from eight daily newspapers of the
year 2003 to understand the pattern of print
media on child sex abuse, and four focus group discussions were
conducted with children to understand children's perception on
the media in relation to child sexual abuse.

The Hatemalo Sanchar has been publishing "Print media coverage
on children's issues" since 2002, under its strategic programme
of Media Monitoring. Till date, three reports have been published.
This has drawn substantial attention of media houses, journalists,
government bodies, stakeholders, civil societies and researchers
on the pattern and trend of media coverage on child-related issues.
The main objective of publishing the report is to generate awareness
about child rights and covering child-related issues by the media.
It also intends to study and assess the media coverage on children's
issues to stop the media-perpetrated violence against children
and promote and ensure child rights through media. Its primary
aim is to develop media as a child friendly means where children
can have easy access to information so that they can express views
and opinion for their overall development.
