I am a student, conducting some interviews for a final I have coming up but having a hard time finding interviewees over the age of 60..

anyone that can help me out I would greatly appreciate it!
i just have 3 general questions to ask. answer them however you see fit, nothing more than a couple sentences is expected.

1) Describe how media have portrayed minorities. (Must name specific programs and incorporate details).
2) Give an example of how you learned something from media -- or when your opinion was affected, or how TV/media have ever influenced you. It could be positive or negative.
3) What suggestions do you have to change Television, Film, Internet, etc. -- for future producers?

Thanks again to anyone who helps! :D

I wish I had a friend who was atleast 60.. :(

both of my grandparents are out of this country so that's not too helpful.

Well, I'm over 60, however, I don't get the newspaper, don't watch the news on TV and really can't answer your questions. All I watch on TV are westerns and mysteries.

Or try a senior community center. Some place where active seniors go.

That is still relevant! Any kind of TV can or movies count.



i live near downtown chicago for school. there aren't really nursing homes or senior centers in this area. it's a lot of students and business people.
since i don't have a car, transportation isn't easy for me.
just thought maybe i could find some people on here :(

I don't see how your questions apply specifically to the age group you are targeting.

for my final i interviewed people in there teens, 20's, 30's, 40's and 60s.
the questions are written by my teacher.
he just wanted us to research different opinions and write and essay about it. and a presentation also.

not my choice! it's for a class
