South Asian Print Media and Children Rights Discourse: A Critical Analysis of Pakistan - India Press

Abstract

    Children rights are highlighted by various authors, columnist and media persons from time to time. The purpose of this study is to identify the imperative issues of children in South Asia especially Pakistan and India. This research article aims to provide information to the advisers and policy makers to shift particular difficulties of children rights to the forefront of public conscience. For this purpose, two dailies, The Nation from Pakistan and The Hindu from India were selected to find out the value given to children rights. The study shows that the coverage of children rights of education, health, safety and development rights were hardly covered in Pakistan and India print media and it is rarely prominent to identify the important issues related to children rights. This survey also examines that there are significant difference in the coverage of India and Pakistan newspapers which reports to the children issues.
