The newspapers give priority to shocking news about domestic violence and trafficking in human beings. The cases of murder in the family, sexual and physical violence against children and of human trafficking are presented as sensations, with titles that aim to shock the readers, shows a monitoring report presented in a meeting of the Investigative Journalists Club, Info-Prim Neo reports. Natalia Porubin, coordinating editor of the Journalistic Investigations Center, said the monitoring was performed in September, October and November. There were monitored 18 newspapers that published 299 materials on migration, domestic violence and trafficking in human beings. As many as 141 materials referred to migration. Another 95 materials focused on domestic violence, while 63 – on trafficking in persons. Natalia Porubin said that in many cases the identity of the child victims of domestic violence was revealed, their rights and dignity being thus prejudiced. The monitoring results showed that most of the materials were based on one source of information, which was usually official. The newspapermen presented the opinion of the law enforcement bodies to the detriment of the opinion of the victims and suspects. Covering these phenomena, most of the newspapers provided details about the circumstances of the crimes without analyzing the cases in a broader context. Human trafficking was mainly presented as a profitable business and many of the materials on the theme contained information about the trafficker’s profit. The authors of the report recommend the journalists to have a responsible and professional attitude when treating such subjects as domestic violence, trafficking in persons, and migration. The editors and reporters should protect the identity of the victims of domestic violence and human trafficking and the data that can help identity them, such as the place of residence, age and other relevant information. The mass media monitoring report was produced with the support of the International Organization for Migration within the program of partnership between the mass media, civil society and public institutions in preventing and combating human trafficking, which forms part of the Prevention of Corruption and Impunity in the Fight Against Trafficking by Empowering the Mass Media and Encouraging Cooperation between Civil Society and the Law Enforcement Bodies Project, which is financed by the U.S. Department of State.
