Children in the media – it is a seemingly easy topic to approach for journalists, which proves to have many underwater reefs and dangers. Children and adolescents are especially vulnerable part of any society, and they require a special approach and treatment.

Armenian Media Resource Center on Child Issues aims to improve coverage of child-related problems in Armenian media and to secure protection of child rights in the work of the journalists.
Let’s join efforts in promoting good practice in the field of information to prevent misuse and misinterpretation of the information that could have hazardous consequences for those who are often helpless to defend themselves, especially children.
Activities 2005-2006
Since the year 2005 United Nations Children Fund and Armenian Public Relations Association are implementing joint projects aimed at understanding and improving the situation with child-related News Coverage in Armenia. In 2005 - 2006 series of activities were conducted aimed at empowering media representatives (journalists of Armenian newspapers, news agencies and TV’s) by in-depth knowledge and continuous information sources about the child issues coverage techniques and promote ethical journalism in accordance with international standards.
