MacNeil Lehrer Productions has created short video that features Renee Hobbs on how media literacy can be used to address the prescription drug industry's messages that influence people to seek solace in a pill.  In this video, MacNeil Lehrer's Antonio Neves talks with media literacy experts on how to analyze mixed messages from the media about drugs in popular culture.

Teens' recreational use of prescription drugs reflects the growing belief, common now among most Americans, that to solve your problems, you can "just take a pill."

Come to Harrisburg on April 2-3, 2009 for two days with media experts Dr. Renee Hobbs and Dr. Brian Primack and learn how to help teenagers solve their problems not by taking a pill but by understanding the messages that they are receiving from the media about prescription drugs.
