Interview with a suggested expert: Quotes to be used – at least 2
In this TV programme a TV interview is done with the United Kingdom’s Child and social
welfare Minister in order to understand the situation related to child trafficking in a precise
manner.
Two quotes:
“Maybe slavery has been with us for centuries because of the inclination to maintain economic
systems geared more toward co modifying human existence than developing its spiritual, creative,
or scientific potentials. Such co modification instantly erases any recognition of humanity as a
priceless value unto itself and reduces individuals as well as entire races, or a specific gender, to a
bargain-priced 'other.”
― Aberjhani, Dreams of the Immortal City Savannah
“The people of the city of Savannah within their collective conscience could follow
previous examples in history and forgive the atrocities of actual slavery committed
against slaves themselves. But what was it [the city] to do with the knowledge that
children completely unaware of the greater ramifications of slavery were led to the
Civil War slaughter in its name? How does one acknowledge with forgiveness such
an unforgiving mutilation of one’s own mind, body, soul, and legacy?”
― Aberjhani, Dreams of the Immortal City Savannah
Summary of the issue: (350 words) Background information on the topic
From a long time child trafficking is one the major issue in United Kingdom. Even after
several rules and restrictions imposed by UK government to stop child trafficking, it is still not

coming under control. The major disadvantage of child trafficking is that it is causing social
regression in the society which is major cause of development issues in the country. After 1900s,
there was a major rise in child trafficking cases which is also a major issue for the government of
the country. The government has also tried to create awareness in the society and also formulated
several laws and acts which are unable to stop the spread of this evil in the society. Media and
experts have also tried their level best in order to deal with the situation but most them got failed
in their efforts (Kazmi, 2017). According to the current situation, there is a need of government
to come ahead in a precise manner in order to control the spread of child trafficking. Media should
get more dominated and precise in order to control the child trafficking which is the need of hour
in order to control this social evil.

Your opinion: (250 words) what would you like the journalist to mention?
I would like the journalist to highlight the current situation which is there in UK related to
child trafficking. I would like to convince journalist to mention all the necessary reasons which are
contributing to child labour. The journalist according to me should provide a detailed coverage of
the major places of UK where child trafficking happens on regular basis. In the new journalist
should also mention the reports which are related to the necessary data on child trafficking. The
journalist should also display interview of different people of society who are involved in human
trafficking (Olarreaga, 2020). Detailed coverage of how child trafficking is provided on the news
channel on TV programme.
What 3 aspects could a follow up programme contain? (150 words)
The Programme should describe a detailed conclusion related to the report as the
conclusion will help in proving detailed review. Follow up programme must include a brief
conclusion of the project which is essential for the users to evaluate different practices related to
child trafficking. In order to make follow up programme more precise, a brief overview of child
trafficking should be provided in a detailed manner. The child trafficking is one of the major issues
which are faced by the whole country since a long time. Government should also help media in
creating precise information related to particular follow up programme. A good follow up
programme leaves a long lasting impression on viewer’s mind (Simone, 2019). Thus it is essential
for important news channels in order to formulate an effective follow up programme.
