Kid Gloves: Interviewing and Reporting On Minors ( January 2003 )
Minors are always in the news. 2002 has featured stories on kidnapped children, sexual abuse by members of the clergy, foster children lost by their social workers, the dating habits of teenage pop-stars, and a seventeen year-old alleged serial sniper. Relying on children as news sources about non-controversial events is not problematic. But conducting or publishing interviews with minors about sensitive subjects, or about their own involvement in controversial events, poses legal risks not present when adults provide information.
