Media Streams

Famous quotes containing the words media and/or streams:

    Never before has a generation of parents faced such awesome competition with the mass media for their children’s attention. While parents tout the virtues of premarital virginity, drug-free living, nonviolent resolution of social conflict, or character over physical appearance, their values are daily challenged by television soaps, rock music lyrics, tabloid headlines, and movie scenes extolling the importance of physical appearance and conformity.
    Marianne E. Neifert (20th century)

    It is time that I wrote my will;
    I choose upstanding men
    That climb the streams until
    The fountain leap, and at dawn
    Drop their cast at the side
    Of dripping stone;
    William Butler Yeats (1865–1939)
