4 - Require/ask main media outlets to provide basic human rights/law training to staff that write about such issues regularly. Even just avoiding very basic mistakes would be huge improvement. Also, get media interested in positive human rights cases, which is sort of your point.

Perhaps, though I don't know what precedent there is for such a thing or why they would take it up? Also, I've come to the conclusion that the issue is not what human rights *are* so much as the values they are seen to represent that is the focus of attack....

...hence educating people on the facts probably unlikely to have much effect. The human rights narrative too often sits on the wrong side of common ideas of fairness I think. The response to Windrush is a good illustration of where people's intrinsic sense of fairness sits.

True. And this entire Windrush issue is, remarkably really, solely because of the media. Amazing what's been achieved in such a short time. And yes, I agree, this is where we fail and what we're terrible at - getting the positive stories into mainstream media.

I don’t think media are the problem anymore. I think it’s the human rights movement. The right wing media in the UK is hugely triggered by human rights as presented by the movement. There can be valuable work done in fact checking, training and challenging but it’s not the answer

@T_Coombes would probably agree with that I expect.

I just hear us all complaining about the mainstream media and it reminds me of Jeremy Corbyn’s movement. I think it’s a convenient focus but not most important one. I’m not denigrating important work people do in correcting but I don’t think it’s making human rights more popular

It's not making human rights more popular. Of course. Completely agree. But we can't ignore the role of the mainstream media and just focus on a separate movement either. Corrections do nothing really, other than give personal satisfaction of seeing them admit they were wrong!
