     Summary

Do the newspapers cover only a certain facet of child sexual abuse and ignore others? Do the leading newspapers devote proportionate weightage to news on child sexual abuse from metros and smaller towns and cities? Why are newspapers flooded with graphic details of a 'case' when a particular incident has happened rather than a continuous In order to find out answers to these questions, Arpan started analyzing the data that we have documented from 2007 till 2011. Their effort has been to examine news coverage generated during those 5 years, compare it with established findings on child sexual abuse, understand the trend of coverage and offer recommendations on inclusive reporting based on their observations.
