KRŠENJA DJEČJIH PRAVA U HRVATSKIM MEDIJIMA: ISTRAŽIVANJE I ANALIZE PARADIGMATSKIH SLUČAJEVA
VIOLATION OF CHILDREN’S RIGHTS IN CROATIAN MEDIA: RESEARCH AND ANALYSIS OF PARADIGMATIC CASES

Summary/Abstract: The paper has its foundation in the fact that till the year 2010 there were none or very small amount of research about the children’s rights in the media. This has changed thanks to the School of Communication which is active under Matica hrvatska (Lat. Matrix Croatica) in the cooperation with the Office of Croatian Children’s Rights Lawyer. The reseach aims at finding out the possible further steps in this obligation in the media. The core hypothesis claims that „Croatian media violate children’s rights while reporting“. A special emphasis, as regards the case analysis, is put onto the children of the famous persons, especially in the case of divorce procedure or child custody disputes as well as onto the misuse of children in the context of political marketing. We conclude that the respect of children’s rights in media is not at a satisfactory level.
