It's not censorship, but the National Committee for Families and Children is trying to put manners on the media - at least when it comes to reporting on children and minors.
Weeks of consultation ended in a media summit today where an 11-point guideline for the reporting on children was ratified. A consensus from the working session was the universal recognition of the absolute right of a child victim to privacy. Participants also agreed to, where possible refrain from using the names and pictures of accused persons and convicted criminals under the age of 16. That though was a sticking point for the session since most argued the right of society to know a criminal would supersede the child's right to privacy.
Also discussed was the use of sexually charged images of children such as the annual carnival road march. NCFC plans to eventually make the guidelines legal where media houses would be fined for violations.
