"MPs, youth organisations, journalists and young people have expressed their support for Positive Images, Young People Now's campaign to improve the portrayal of young people in the media.
The Positive Images campaign was launched at Westminster on Tuesday.
It aims to encourage the media to report on young people in a balanced way. It is also asking youth workers and young people to be more proactive in promoting positive stories.
As part of the campaign, Young People Now has created a draft media code that will be sent out for consultation with journalists, young people and youth groups (see p16). "
