An interesting idea. Authors who write for young adults can probably hold the attention of adults. But great writers for adults cannot always capture the same magic for young adults.
This is better than the idea that MTV has been floating for African and Asian music channels. An all-African TV channel for news and entertainment. Wonder if Americans will be able to watch "Generations," the South African soap opera where the characters interlace Xhosa, Zulu, English and Afrikaans in the same scene. Normally airs prime time so that families can watch teh show together. Incidentally, the show is set in a brothel. Overall, it is better to import this show than to export "The Bold and the Beautiful" overseas.
"If you are an overeducated (or at least a semi-overeducated) youngish person with a sleep disorder and a surfeit of opinions, the thing to do, after all, is to start a blog." NYT, 09.12.05
