Have a Good NEWS

youth were very disappointed by the media that serve a relentless negative stereotype with little connection to reality

Flipping through the tabloids and broadsheets, looking for production-time news and Prime Television through web content, I realize that we have a problem - great. Young people today suffer from age discrimination. Stamped "masked" or label "chav" and considered a rebel group, disrespectful and dangerous, while we are marginalized and stigmatized, became a fuzzy entity, threatening, do not reflect our lives.

I am lucky to be in my senior year with a wealth of experience under my belt, and soon enter into the fierce world of work. However, knowledge is very different - he hated the school much more GCSE. He had the brains and beauty, but she had no work ethic, drive and determination to realize where I am now. It is classified as Neet (not in education or training), who last year made up 15.6% of those aged 16-24 years. Statistically, it's just another teenager who left school and did not do something productive and constructive with your life. Also, you might as well be the exception not the rule. But there is a support media have made most of us are like her - disinterested, disconnected and uneducated. In fact, 85% were 18 years in education, employment or training in 2009 - an encouragement

While some people with the stereotype and youth are worse for others, we are still very poorly represented. However, not necessarily on the way news is being built, but the very process of selecting new. Why print a story about the individual success of a young person when you can print the most popular stories of teens failures sinister?

am not insensitive to what the public wants, after all, for most journalists, "the bad news is good news." But good news for whom? Surely not for teenagers, who have little or no power to speak in his defense. In 2004, a poll by Ipsos Mori showed that, because it suggests that no less than 71% of articles in a wide range of tabloids, leaves and involving local young people were negative in tone, and third were focused on crime. And if journalism is the set of reports on the fair and objective, so why do we never see young people's views represented in stories about them?

Although the role of media and its impact on the issue should not be fired, I think this argument is for people who depend on the news to stay informed and form their own opinions. It should recognize the positive contributions that young people in communities, and hear their concerns. Public perceptions to change. Greater openness in the hope of encouraging people less afraid, among others.
