Abstract Human rights are moral principles or norms which describe certain standards of human behavior, and are regularly protected as legal rights in municipal and international law. There are many substantive rights of human rights such as right to life, freedom from torture, freedom from slavery, right to a fair trial etc; but unfortunately most of the time people don’t know them. People should be aware of Human rights. Educating society on human rights is an essential task. Media is a field which is doing this job very efficiently since long time. Media is like a mirror. Its main task is to gather the information and reflect it back in proper form. Media are the producers of information for general public. This information includes human rights issues most of the times. Human rights are compass for good journalism. Journalists have a moral obligation to promote human rights all the time and in every story.
