Answer in the Media
A full listing of the tremendous media coverage that Answer has received over the past several months is on our Web site at http://answer.rutgers.edu/page/answerinthenews/, but here are some highlights:
“Teens & Sex”, posted on Parents.tv, the online show of Parents magazine, features TISHE core staff member Eva Goldfarb, Ph.D., Sex, Etc. managing editor Lucinda Holt and Sex, Etc. teen editors Karen Choucrallah and Allie Hough.Two Op-Eds, one for the New York Daily News (“Blaming TV for Teen Pregnancy Is a Convenient Excuse,”) and the other for the Courier-Post (“Teens Need Comprehensive Sex Education”) were published in late 2008.I was interviewed for the TODAYShow.com online, “Survey: Unprotected Sex Common Among Teens,” reacting to a recent survey about the sexual habits among teen girls. It is exciting to see that Answer is being viewed as the go-to place for comments and guidance around sexuality issues—and equally pleasing that sexuality education is receiving long overdue media attention!Sex, Etc.
The newly released Winter 2009 issue of Sex, Etc. magazine explores the theme, “Chill Out,” with stories about issues that cause concern amongst their peer—and help calm those fears.Over 100 teens have added their profiles already to “Your Voice, Your Rights,” the new advocacy section on the Sex, Etc. Web site. Know any teens who want their voices heard? Please send them to http://www.sexetc.org/yourvoice/uyv/survey
