What I worry about the most is the competition for young eyeballs. We have so many other competing forms of media. I don't take any audience members for granted.
Sentiment: NEGATIVE
Youngsters are the most discerning audience. They want entertainment, they want issues.
Celebrity life and media culture are probably the most overbearing pop-cultural conditions that we as young people have to deal with, because it forces us to judge ourselves.
Young people are so often dissed by the media.
I think the media is a fear-mongering operation. They love to rile their viewership up or to scare them.
I worry about kids and all they are exposed to. Kids get so bombarded with hard, commercial sounds. They don't even have a chance to develop the softer part of themselves without fear of being ridiculed.
I think more things are becoming socially acceptable. I think that just by having more media, whether that's TV or Internet, we're able to see more things.
I was very intensely concerned with all kinds of new media.
What amazes me most is that the media and I have fostered a close relationship.
Media and technology are our greatest assets. And yet, they are our most undervalued and underused assets. Now when I say that, people look at me like I'm crazy because every young person we know in the world is never without media, ever.
To be honest with you, I worry about concentration of ownership in media, where you have a handful of media conglomerates largely controlling what we see, hear and read.
