| Analysis: Policy - Positive Images - Media still has a long way to go | |
| By - 26/04/06 | |
| Research into the media's portrayal of young people commissioned by Young People Now shows that newspapers seem to be treating the subject less negatively. Charlotte Goddard looks at the findings. In 2004, when Young People Now conducted research into the portrayal of young people in the media, almost three out of four (71 per cent) articles were negative. For the same period the following year, YPN found the figure had dropped to 57 per cent. It is not that newspapers have been converted to the brilliance of youth - only 12 per cent of stories about young people were wholly positive, about the same as in 2004. But the number of stories classed as "neutral" has doubled, from 15 to 30 per cent. | |
