MEDIA REPORTING ON PERSONS MISSING DUE TO 1992-1995 CONFLICT IN BOSNIA AND HERZEGOVINA

The Practical Handbook for reporting on missing persons is intended for all journalists, to help them in their work – as well as future reporters and journalists. It also aims to incentivize editors and directors of media outlets to bring these topics back to prime time, as well as remind professors to engage their students with experience-based examples in addition to theoretical lectures, along with direct readership by students themselves – of all disciplines. Families of victims would benefit from reading the Handbook as well, so they would know what they could expect and what the obligations of the media are. Finally, the Handbook is written to be accessible to a broader readership of all others who want to learn more about the missing and the way in which the media should treat this subject.
