Wise and Honoring Representations of Children in Media

Whether child or adult, a person’s physical image and story represent them. These representations are part of who they are. So photos, films, and stories of any person should be created and shared only in ways that respect their wishes and affirm their dignity as beings made in the image of God. When it comes to children, wise use of images is also an act of child protection – honoring each child’s dignity and guarding them from voyeurism and exploitation.

This booklet provides key principles for practice, questions for consideration, and resources for additional learning on the wise representation of children in media.
