Abstract
Child victims of catastrophic incidents are often deluged by the news media and by the consequences of instant celebrity status but little is known about the effects of such publicity on these children. Several possible negative consequences for the children are discussed, as are some potential benefits. Suggestions are made for measures to minimize potential trauma arising from media attention.Keywords
