Dear American Media, You Are Embarrassingly Biased | Meghan Gupta | TEDxYouth@AnnArbor |

Western media is notorious for only providing coverage on happenings in "white" Western countries. How many tragedies are happening around the world without our media's support and coverage?
To support this cause, please follow the link in the video to sign a petition, showing our media networks that we want to hear about what is happening around the world. Meghan Gupta is a Junior at Pioneer High School. She enjoys being a part of the National Honors Society and Student Council at school. In her free time, she works at the Ann Arbor Ice Cube as a coach of the Learn-to-Skate program and a volunteer for Special Olympics Figure Skating. The topic of her talk is to expose bias in the media concerning terrorism, and she aims to do this while examining its effect on the American people. For the future, she is interested in political science and biology. Her biggest goal is to run for President of the United States. This talk was given at a TEDx event using the TED conference format but independently organized by a local community. Learn more at http://ted.com/tedx |
