Summary

Journalists have a great opportunity to improve our understanding of children, and with that, they also carry the responsibility to portray children justly. Naturally, journalists are concerned with producing a great story, however, this goal does not have to be at odds with the fair portrayal of childrenโ€™s experiences, thoughts, and needs. This guide provides helpful recommendations on how childrenโ€™s perspectives can be better incorporated into mass media reporting.
