Human rights

Media promoting rights

On one hand, Media can hold crucial role in raising awareness on human rights and sensitising the public. On the other hand, they watchdog various relevant stakeholders and thus prevent their violations - they can serve as a kind of reporting actor similar to civil society mentioned before.

There are some examples of responsible media, which do not try to ride the wave of populism, but rather try to educate their consumers instead. One of them is the British newspaper the Guardian which, for a long time, have had sections dedicated to such issues as development, environment or society.
