"This report presents the results and findings of the Empowering Children & Media project, in which the MMP monitored the representation of children in the news media over a three-month period in 2003. It also aims to form part of a larger project to improve the representation of children in the media, by providing a base from which further research can be conducted and by providing material from which strategies can be developed and implemented in media settings to be used by journalists and media workers."
