Journalists have to inform the officers concerned any case of child rights violation, apart from writing about such incidents, member secretary of the District Legal Services Authority (DLSA) P. Murali Mohan Reddy said in Belagavi on Wednesday.
He was speaking at the sensitisation programme on child rights for media persons, organised by the DLSA, the district protection committee, the district administration and the Department of Information.
He asked all journalists to use the appropriate words in drafting news reports in accordance with the Child Rights Act of 2015. Journalists can clear their doubts by referring to a Kannada book, Makkala Ghanateya Baduku (Dignity of Children).
