Presentation Transcript

  1. Image of the child in the media • low visibility; • presenting children in predominantly negative contexts, either as vulnerable and helpless or as problematic and dangerous; • superficial and sensationalist approach; • using the child as a means for drawing attention or attaching importance to other themes; • implicit or explicit judgmental attitude towards children, exclusively based on adult standards; • stereotyped, often black-and-white portrayal (angels or devils), including prejudice against today’s children due to lack of knowledge and fear of novelty; • insensitivity to children’s developmental, individual and other characteristics and needs.

  2. ID of the child based on media portrayal • THE CHILD IS A MEMBER OF A RARE, HELPLESS AND RATHER ENDANGERED SPECIES. • THE MEMBERS OF THAT SPECIES ARE MOSTLY OF INDEFINITE AGE, SEX AND SOCIAL STATUS. • ALL THEY ARE CAPABLE AND FOND OF DOING IS TO PLAY AND HAVE FUN. APART FROM THAT, THERE IS LITTLE THEY CAN DO OR UNDERSTAND, AND EVEN LESS SAY. • WE, ADULTS, ARE THERE TO PROTECT THEM FROM ALL RISKS AND DANGERS. • THAT IS EXACTLY WHAT WE ARE DOING, AS FAR AS OTHER RESPONSIBILITIES AND FINANCIAL RESOURCES PERMIT, BECAUSE WE ARE KIND, CONSIDERATE AND CARING.
