Code of Ethics for Journalists on child protection launched

A document to guide media reportage on issues relating to children has been launched in Accra. 

The Child Protection Code of Ethics for Journalists has become necessary following sensational reportage on issues of rape and child trafficking, especially by a section of the electronic media and tabloids. 

The Executive Director of Child`s Rights International, Bright Appiah, who spoke to Radio Ghana at the launch asked journalists to desist from posting pictures of children who have been abused or disclose their location.
