>Kia ora: I have just been reading through the transcripts of the
>focus groups we have done as part of my "Children and Media in New
>Zealand: Revisited" research project (a study which follows up on
>1999 research on 8-12 year olds and their media use). In one focus
>group, two 10-11 year old girls respond to a question, "If there is
>anything you could change about TV, film, computers etc, what would
>it be?". These girls attend a local primary (aka elementary)
>school, in a older, low-income area (it is a decile 2 school, on a
>scale of 6=richest school to 1=poorest school).

>Girl 1: "I'd change all the things that give me nightmares"
>Girl 2: "You'd have to change the world, not just TV"
>
>One of those moments which make doing research so worthwhile!
