they need us to tell them. that is why we are here today. that has got to be a part of the mission. so i support everything johnson said, but there is another the to keep in mind. this is the jury pool. the jury pool is constantly affected and infected by nancy grace, law-and-order. it is constantly being polluted -- i truly believe this -- by the media. it sounds silly but it is not. i really believe in the power of media to influence people. that is why i got in it. so we have to use it to our advantage. you have got to be in it to win it. if we are not controlling our image, someone else is. so you have got to start thinking about the way that the image of the public defender is going to be portrayed, either in dramatic television -- over which you will have a lot less control. or certainly, in news media. years ago, i got a phone call from a public defender in san francisco. he had a case receiving a lot of media attention, and he wanted me to come to cover the case for 20/20. some of his colleagues thought he was not to. what are you bringing a barbara walters in to cover a cas

tell us to be quiet. actually we don't mind but someone next door complained. someone complained? about us? tell them to come here and complain to our faces. no. no. wait! i understand. they're just jealous. we're here having a good time and they're all alone, right? that's it. they're just jealous. maybe so but actually it's not just an ordinary person that complains. what do you mean not an ordinary person? someone with three heads, six legs? a ghost? very funny, sir, but actually it's a samurai. samurai? next door? why didn't you tell us. we don't like samurais? sometimes they just kill people by mistakes. sorry about that. samurai? okay. okay. we understand and we'll be quiet. okay. ladies sorry. parties over. see you next time. sorry. we will go to bed now. shall i bring out the futons. yes but don't put them in a row. put the heads together so we can talk in bed. is it okay for us to talk in bed. that's no problem talk as much as you like. okay. thank you. samurai next door told us to shut up. that's okay. i don't mind. these things happen when you travel. any way it's a good story to tell our

talk with writers at the writers guild of america, west, they tell us that their agenda is to tell compelling stories. so we need to inspire them with real stories of real people, positive stories. for example, last year our sentinel for health award winner was private practice, the abby's alcoholism story. i don't know if you saw that one. but it was a wonderful portrayal of a professional woman. you know, she's an m.d.; she's very well respected in her field. she's an alcoholic and having a problem. and she actually goes into treatment, comes out, goes back to work, and eventually has a relapse. so this episode was about relapse. one thing we know about portrayals of alcoholism and drug addiction in television comes from our tv monitoring project. we did an analysis of shows...800 shows from...no, it's almost 1,000 shows from 2004 to 2006 and what we found was that 29 percent of these episodes portrayed drug use and 33 percent of them portrayed alcoholism. only 6 percent of those alcoholism storylines actually talked about alcohol abuse or alcohol as a problem. so one thing we know is that people are actually seeing people dr

one thing that people could do nationwide that would mean a a lot to us is to call or write their senator or congressman andell tell them that it matters to them them what happens here. biggest thing we're afraid of, biggest thing once they cap it, that everybody goes to the next new story. and forgets about us down here. >> all of them down there, still fighting the oil.he and you can find all the other a town hall responses to your o your questions and hear what gulf ons and residents say they fear the most at abcnews.com. >>> still ahead, though, stingrays in the water. why? >>> stil why now? desperate for nighttime heartburn relief? for many, nexium helps relieve heartburn symptoms caused by acid reflux disease. and for the majority of patients with prescription coverage for nexium, it can cost $30 or less per month. headache, diarrhea and abdominal pain are possible side effects of nexium. other serious stomach conditions may still exist. ask your doctor if nexium can help relieve your heartburn symptoms. if you can't afford your medication, astrazeneca may be able to help.
