Question
Rachael Dumigan
, Young people are getting a bad rap in the news media at the moment – either they are “hoodies” ignoring their ASBOs or they are lazy, overweight and sit in front of computer games all day shirking physical activity. Do you think the news media ignores positive stories about young people in favour of sensationalised tales of antisocial behaviour and binge drinking or is the future of Britain really that bad?

The survey also looked at coverage of young people in the news media and it should that out of every 5 news stories, 4 are negative.
