Abstract
One of the most important functions of the media is to inform the public. Media organizations produce news about events and extraordinary situations in daily life and publish it to the society. Especially sensational news as well as news about crime and punishment, violence, terrorism and privacy have always attracted the attention of the society. For this reason, media institutions frequently publish news about this situation. In particular, when children's exposure to violence and its reflection in the media are considered in terms of legal and ethical principles, it reveals that it is an important issue that needs to be considered and investigated. Violence is a social phenomenon that can be encountered in every part of human life. Oppression, persecution, intimidation, killing, punishment, as well as rebellion and strike, maintain their feature of being a part of daily life in every society. In addition, recent developments in the field of communication and new communication technologies have revealed that violence is much more common in the world than expected, and that people should approach to violence more seriously. The application of this phenomenon to children, who are the future of human beings, is frequently shown in today's media news. Therefore, this study discusses how the children exposed to violence are reflected in the press in Kyrgyz society. The study explored the daily news in the local press through content analysis and examined how children were represented in the press, i.e. in the mass media.
