Young People Now Positive Images Campaign
EDM number 1726 in 2003-04, proposed by Hilton Dawson on 13/10/2004.
That this House welcomes the Positive Images campaign launched by Young People Now magazine to improve the media coverage of young people noting with concern that research carried out recently by MORI revealed that 70 per cent. of press articles about young people are negative, young people are only quoted in 8 per cent. of stories about them, two thirds of 11 to 18 year olds would not trust a journalist to tell them the truth and young people think the press is finger-wagging, authoritarian and prone to exaggeration; calls upon all media to give a much fairer representation of the qualities of young people across the United Kingdom.
This motion has been signed by a total of 94 MPs.
