13 May 2003
My wife and I often watch ABC World News Tonight at 6.30 pm, particularly since the beginning of the war in Iraq. We've noticed that this programme has an uncommon number of advertisements for medicinal aids of various sorts -- but none for curing acne! This suggest that the age demographic for the television news audience is, shall we say, on the higher end of the scale. I am not sure what this says about the interest of young people in world events. I guess that's part of my job -- to get them interested in what's going on "out there."
