Myth or fact:

By the time you are 17 years old, you will have absorbed more than 250,000 commercial messages from the media.

If you answered “Fact,” you are absolutely correct! From TV to radio to the internet to magazines and more, it’s no doubt girls are bombarded with complex messages and images from the media each day. That’s why, every year, Girls Inc. pays tribute to inspiring women in the entertainment industry who are helping our media shape up in ways that are positive for girls and women.
