Children are an integral part of the society since they cannot raise
their concerns themselves, society as a whole is responsible for their
rights. Rights of children can become part of political and social
agendas in Pakistan if media also play its social responsibility role
more effectively. The one year study of the leading newspapers of
Pakistan aims to examine whether the rights of children were given
any prominence in the coverage or not. The study yields that the
coverage of Pakistani print media towards children’s rights of
education, health, safety, and development was given hardly any
prominence. The findings also show a significant difference in the
ways English and Urdu dailies had given coverage to the issues of
children. Very few editorials, features, and columns were published
on children’s issues which depicts that there is no clear agenda or
policy of the dailies to create awareness about the children’s rights
and it is not playing its role towards the society in this regard
