New Generation, New Media and Communication Rights: A View from Turkey

Öz

The UN Convention on Rights of the Child (1989) is one of the international legal documents dealing with the relationship between media and children, as well as children’s communication rights. Article 13/1 of the Convention declares the “right to freedom of expression” through any kind of “media of the child’s choice”, while article 17 emphasizes that “States Parties recognize the important function performed by the mass media and shall ensure that the child has access to information and material from a diversity of national and international sources”. Turkey as one of the state parties to the UNCRC, has an obligation to protect and promote children’s communication rights as set forth in the UN Convention on Rights of the Child. In recent years, new media technologies and the internet have moved into the centre of attention, as special UN reports focused on protecting and promoting the child’s right to freedom of expression. This article aims at elaborating the ways in which children in Turkey are able to exercise their communication rights in new media environment, for this purpose, the findings of three different research at three different levels -international, national and local- will be employed to handle children’s new media usage habits in Turkey. Finally, the article concludes with some recommendations for contributing to formulate media education policies and practices sensitive to every child’s communication rights especially aligned with the UN Convention on Rights of the Child (1989), which congragulates its 25th anniversary in this year.
