Hi Geeks

If anyone out there is heavily opinionated in any direction about the subject I write below, please contact me

thanks


Do you think that the media's approach * to publicising the campaign that Phyllis Starkey MP is taking to government on licensing the nail industry is -

1 - detrimental to it in total

2 - detrimental in the short term for long term benefits

3 - Not a problem at all - ALL GOOD!

* = small TV news stories that discuss the need for licensing by highlighting the damage done to nails by some salons. Thereby promoting and planting a negative ideal about nails-only salons in the mind of the general public.

I look forward to your comments!


thank you

I am not heavily opinionated about it but I suspect that the media stories are detrimental certainly in the short term.

Even if there is a piece which is balanced, the only bit which seems to be sticking in peoples minds is the negative side of it.

I agree with fiona......people will only remember the more shocking and horrific side to a story. And when people talk they will be saying OMG.....did you see the state of those nails on tv last night.....not did you she how nice another set were. And to be honest it is going to be the the horror stories are are going to be in the report the most as thats why the regulations are needed.
So i definatly think that it will be detrimental in the short term,even if it is meant well.
