Abstract
The paper has its foundation in the fact that till the year 2010 there were none or very small
amount of research about the children’s rights in the media. This has changed thanks to the School
of Communication which is active under Matica hrvatska (Lat. Matrix Croatica) in the cooperation
with the Office of Croatian Children’s Rights Lawyer. The reseach aims at finding out the
possible further steps in this obligation in the media. The core hypothesis claims that „Croatian
media violate children’s rights while reporting“. A special emphasis, as regards the case analysis,
is put onto the children of the famous persons, especially in the case of divorce procedure or child
custody disputes as well as onto the misuse of children in the context of political marketing. We
conclude that the respect of children’s rights in media is not at a satisfactory level.
