EXPLAIN ALL AND GIVE EXAMPLE EACH

A set of guidelines has been drawn up by a group of European charitable and non-governmental organisations to challenge the ways in which developing countries are often portrayed in the news (NGO-EC Liaison Committee, 1989):

Avoid catastrophic images in favour of describing political, structural and natural root causes and contexts.

Preserve human dignity by providing sufficient background information on people's social, cultural, eco nomic and environmental contexts; highlight what people are doing for themselves.

Provide accounts by the people concerned rather than interpretations by a third party

. Provide more frequent and more positive images of women.

Avoid all forms of generalisation, stereotyping and discrimination.
