Nascer para ser famoso? Os filhos de celebridades e seus direitos na mídia

In this paper we discuss the media exhibition of children of celebrities from the point of view of their individual rights, as well as of the possibilities and limitations for the public visibility of childrens rights in general, against the background of journalistic ethics. We discuss this issue from a juridical and normative perspective, paying particular attention to the United Nations Convention of the Rights of the Child on the one hand and, on the other, from a journalistic perspective, analyzing the self-regulation codes from Portuguese and Brazilian journalists. These perspectives will be confronted with a selection of cases in the news in Portugal and Brazil in which children of celebrities are the central focus.
