It
has been suggested by Christian guru-Murthy that teenagers are not interested
in conventional TV news broadcasts. He explains that there are a number of
reasons for this:
–‘difficult to cater for all teenagers’
–‘there is no such thing as a typical
teen’
–‘teenagers often get talked down to in TV
news’
–‘most TV news viewers are over the age of
55’
–‘teenagers get their news from other
sources’
–‘TV news, particularly channel 4 tends to
have long discussions which doesn’t appeal to a teenage audience
–‘to combat the lack of teenagers watching
channel 4 news, Channel 4 broadcast Hollyoaks
before the news in the hope that they might attract their audience’
–‘Facebook is the best way to spread the
word’
–‘teenagers are unable to relate to the
presenters owing to their age, appearance, etc.’
It
is essential that you are aware of these quotes and refer to them, where
possible, in the exam.
