Are Young People Unfairly Treated by the Media?

“There’s goodness in the hearts of most of them, that you malign. They just want to dance and have some fun, have you forgotten what it’s like?”

In today’s society, young volunteers are often subjected to negative portrayals by the media. This theme was passionately addressed by a top-selling singer-songwriter at the recent Wireless Festival. The artist supported our #ReverseRiots campaign, which strives to create more positive images of young people.

The Voice of Support

During the festival, the artist shared thought-provoking words on the impact of negative media narratives surrounding young people. Their support highlights the importance of resilience and staying positive amidst challenges.
