Information from the media is all around us on websites, phones, apps, social media as well as more traditional forms like radio, podcasts, newspapers and libraries.
Article 17 – Access to Information from the Media – states that every child has the right to reliable information from a variety of sources, and governments should encourage the media to provide information that children can understand. Governments must help protect children from materials that could harm them.
