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.
