The report titled 'The Representation of Children in the Print Media of Turkey - June 2018' examines the themes of articles and columns on children produced in print media and how the stories on children presented in print media. For this report, all texts in newspapers that include the word “child”--and variations of it--are listed. As part of the research, 2,459 articles and columns that had been published in 8 newspapers (Birgün, Cumhuriyet, Hürriyet, Karar, Ortadoğu, Sabah, Sözcü, Yeni Şafak) throughout the month of June 2018 were reviewed. The contents were analyzed according to two main questions: What are the themes of texts about children and how is the produced content presented?

The report starts with an article titled “Children’s Rights and Media”, which is an introduction to the notions of “child”, “childhood”, “children’s rights” and the relationship between children and the media, written by Ezgi Koman, who works in the field of children’s rights. In the chapter covering the analysis of print media, in which the findings of the scanning work are presented, there are analyses dealing with structures and discourses of texts that are exemplary of themes frequently found in newspaper pieces. The report ends with a concluding chapter which summarizes the analysis of the representation of children in print media and offers some suggestions for a practice of media that respects and promotes children’s rights.
