Abstract

In this paper the author based on analysis of the media institutional and normative framework in the Republic of Serbia relevant for the protection of children from child labour abuse and exploitation in the context of the right to privacy of the child, having in mind the quantitative and qualitative analysis of media reports: "Media reporting on child labour in the Republic of Serbia". The interest of the child to be protected, including the right to privacy, is above all other interests and takes precedence over the public interest to receive information that includes personally identifiable information about a child and his/her family, which could damage his/her dignity and psychological integrity. In order to recognise the phenomenon, as well as to improve practices in reporting about it, it is necessary to educate editors and journalists in such a way as to fully respect the parameters of professional journalism and not threaten the dignity and integrity of the child.
