15. Blue RESEARCH: ARTICLE LINK
I have found an article that relates really well with the topic we considering to
take forward…
“Survey, commissioned by Young People
Now magazine, suggests third of press
articles about young people were about
crime and 71% saw young people
negatively”
Youth campaigners, backed by
children's minister Margaret Hodge,
say the young are
being unfairly targeted and should not
be linked automatically with anti-
social behaviour.
16. Blue PUBLICS OPINIONS
We decided to let some people aged 25+ to fill out a questionnaire (their view about
Youth and their representation) and spoke through some of there explanations
Here is what they said:
“majority of the time Issues to do with youth on the news has always been a
negative, which obvisley gives people a bad impression on them, a negative
one”
“the crime on the news, youth are always involved somewhere in that issue,
which makes some youths appear to be violent”
“Films where young people are associating themselves
with drugs, knifes, etc”
They are generalising all youths by always doing this
which gives all youths a Different outlook.
The representation of youths is of only a
minority in Britain, there are many youths that
are well educated and behaved ie.youths going
to university and helping out the community”
17. Statistics Blue
The media should cover more positive stories about
young people?
47% of adults believe
that teenagers are

alcoholics or as

social behaviour, while
only 7% of the people
surveyed believed that
they are portrayed in a
