Sounds fascinating, though I’m very curious to see if Frontline can balance its attention-getting (fear-instilling) trailer by presenting the significant advantages today’s digital natives enjoy thanks to the tubes. Has the potential to be the next “Merchants of Cool,” or show the sinking of another organization (please no - you’re PBS) to the sex-sells philosophy of television production by neglecting a balanced presentation of what it really means to be “Growing Up Online”

I had some major issues with the press release and trailer for this Frontline episode. I talk about it at my blog: http://www.understandmedia.com/blog/?p=222
One of my main issues is that they don’t show very many minorities in the commercial. The minorities they do show are “trouble makers”.
