The fact that the news about the child has a high news value also brings the problem whether the child is abused by the media. In this context, the study aims to study the ways in which children are addressed in the written media and the understanding of the communication of the written media related to these children. The research was conducted by the method of document analysis of the type of content analysis. The sale tirage was measured and the two newspapers with the supposed highest tirage that had the most impact on society were addressed. These two newspapers, determined by the method of measurement sampling of intended random sampling methods, included in the assessment scope the news from 12 March 2018 to 25 March 2018. According to the results of the study, the news content shows that when children lose their lives or witness a murder, their names are openly written and the death of the victims means the death of the rights. In other cases, the media provides personal information in indirect ways. In this context, the media sector must have supervisory units that will prevent children from easily being brought to the news center. However, a common language should be created in the media.
