Rapid development of modern information and communication technologies which enabled the growth of new media platforms as well, created a need for adapting media legislation to new reporting standards. In the ongoing market competition, which imposes fast production of media content, rules and ethical guidelines of the profession are no longer enough and are becoming more challenging in the selection of media content to be published. The editors are pressured by the interests of the owners, politics and large advertisers and the journalists by the threat of losing their jobs unless they obey to such imposed rules. The result is frequently irresponsible media reporting and the biggest victims are children. They are still developing their personality and therefore are the most susceptible to the harmful effects of media content. Their media rights are legally protected by the Ordinance on the protection of minors in electronic media, prescribing the mandatory conduct of television, radio and on-demand media service providers as well as electronic publications providers for cases where the publication of media content is likely to be able to impair the integrity, self-concept, selfesteem and the physical, mental or moral development of minors. The paper is focused on electronic publications and aims to show the result of several months monitoring of selected Internet portals with a goal to answer the question whether these electronic publications comply with the provisions of the Ordinance on the protection of minors in electronic media when publishing content defined by it.
