Fundamental principles of journalistic profession are objective, impartial and balanced reporting. To achieve this, it is necessary to include as many relevant sources of information as possible. These sources give journalists the opinions and views of all involved parties in a story. Therefore, without these sources of information, journalists would not be informed and reporting would thus be contrary to all the journalistic principles. However, issues arise when talking about vulnerable groups in society. Research shows that, already marginalized groups, often become more marginalized when journalists don’t give them an opportunity to express their own opinion on the subject that is concerning them. This is most prevalent in reporting about children. The youngest and the most vulnerable participants of the society are presented as passive participants interesting only to the marketing stream. Therefore, the aim of this study was to research the current representation of children as sources of information in the central news programme of Croatian televisions. The study included three televisions with national concession - HRT1, RTL and NOVA TV. In a one-month period, a quantitative analysis of the content was used to reveal the general representation of children in the information programme, themes and value orientations associated with them, and ultimately the presence of children as sources of information. The results only confirmed already devastating state. Apart from the fact that the reports relating to children appear in less than 10% of the sample, children are presented within light, fun and emotional themes. When we talk about sources of information, within already small sample, children appear to be active sources of information in less than half of cases. In the similar amount of cases they appear in the reports, but someone else puts says their opinions for them. Usually those are their parents or close family members. Although today media make an indispensable part of every person's life, especially children, it seems as if media owners and editors are still not aware of the impact they have on society. Therefore this research, and all the others in the past and future with similar themes, are very important to point out how serious this problem is. Because possible negative consequences are far more important than commercial interests.
