Do the media report human rights well? If not, what would constitute "good" reporting of human rights issues? How should journalists and editors themselves judge the quality of their reporting in this area? What pressures and constraints do they face and how might they be managed better? In an effort to explore these questions, the International Council on Human Rights Policy (ICHRP) conducted a two-year research project involving interviews with over 70 editors, journalists, and broadcasters working in major international media centres and extensive consultation with national and local media professionals in several countries.
