Wilby: why young people don't like newspapers

Peter Wilby, in today's New Statesman, adds to the point made recently by The Observer's John Naughton about the increasingly hostile relationship between young people and newspapers. Wilby writes: "Newspapers portray the schools, colleges and universities young people attend as incompetent and ill-disciplined... Half the courses are in joke subjects. School leavers are illiterate and unemployable... Then there's drugs and sex." I think Naughton and Wilby have started an interesting debate. (Via New Statesman)
