Objectives:
• to provide a systematic review of available reporting patterns on the issue;
• to establish whether current reporting reflects all aspects of the phenomenon in a comprehensive and in-depth manner;
• to formulate recommendations on “journalistic best practices” that would help raise public awareness about human trafficking and its prevention.

Methodology:Analyzed articles include stories featuring aspects of internal and external human trafficking for the purpose of : • prostitution, • forced labor, • begging and petty crime, • organ harvesting.
In addition, articles covering the following issues are studied: • activities/projects aimed to combat this phenomenon, • steps aimed at providing new opportunities to vulnerable
population segments.
Both the content features of articles and types of journalistic article processing are studied.

General tendencies observed in January 2005 - February 2006:
• Relevant issues were not given high prominence (there were few front-page articles);
• Very short and short articles predominated;• Most articles did not contain graphics;• Straightforward news made up the largest group;• Single-source stories predominated;• The coverage was overwhelmingly limited to “breaking news” (very
few stories followed up on issues featured earlier);• Most of the relevant articles highlighted prevention activities of the
Moldovan law-enforcement bodies, parliament or government;• Articles predominantly focused on instances of trans-national
trafficking.

Conclusions:
• Trafficking prevention and new perspectives for vulnerable population segments are not among the priority issues for monitored newspapers;
• Diversity of sources is insufficient, and such journalistic genres as interviews, analyses, opinion pieces and features remain largely under-represented;
• Journalists seldom follow up on issues raised in breaking news;• Few attempts are made to put the examined problems in a general
context; • Most of the articles do not suggest solutions to trafficking victims; • Taking into account the seriousness of the problem, a claim can be
made that public awareness about relevant issues is not adequately raised.

Recommendations:
• Maintain permanent contacts with the news media.• Be “pro-active” – offer journalists statistics, case studies,
relevant illustrations.• When organizing special media campaigns insist on the
publication of articles of various genres and on the use of diverse news sources.
• Discuss the relevance of all graphics used as illustrations.
• Stress the importance for relevant stories to analyze problems in a general context and to provide concrete solutions .
