I think television often has dismissed younger people. They figure, well, they're not really watching news, that's not our audience.

Young people are so often dissed by the media.

Given how few young people actually read the newspaper, it's a good thing they'll be reading a newspaper on a screen.

Youngsters are the most discerning audience. They want entertainment, they want issues.

You can't get all of your news from Jon Stewart, especially since it's a comedy show.

Television news is now entertainment, and the stories are being written by the people that have a special interest in them.

Young people don't really study the facts; they watch the skewed MSNBC and get a primarily liberal education.

Journalism is straying into entertainment. The lines between serious news segments, news entertainment, and news comedy are blurring.

Publishers have realized that, unlike the previous time period, American teenagers are both smarter and require more topical material than they had been giving them before that. For one thing, they'll read thicker books. Besides, has anybody looked at the news or read the newspapers recently?

I think it is important for young people to see other young people on television doing something positive with their life, making positive changes and growing. I don't think there is enough of that on TV. I mean, we've got 'Jersey Shore,' and I don't know what that teaches young kids.
