Low youth readership? Survey suggests we look in mirror

Low youth readership? Survey suggests we look in mirror: "A new report from Portland's youth philanthropy group YOUTHINK, spells it out pretty clearly -- young people are missing from the pages of the Portland Press Herald/Maine Sunday Telegram.

To get to the point: young people don't show up in articles and the issues important to them go uncovered.

But the group's report also gives us a few tips to get on the right track, and they'd like to work with us to do it.

'The main point is that we really believe that young people are a huge part of Portland's population and deserve to be represented accurately and fairly to the public,' said recent Deering High School graduate Kate Curley."
