Role of media

I thought this quote is a great statement of what kind of media we should use:

Again I renew the call for a return to virtue. Virtue is the strength and power of daughters of God. What would the world be like if virtue—a pattern of thought and behavior based on high moral standards, including chastity8—were reinstated in our society as a most highly prized value? If immorality, pornography, and abuse decreased, would there be fewer broken marriages, broken lives, and broken hearts? Would media ennoble and enable rather than objectify and degrade God’s precious daughters? If all humanity really understood the importance of the statement “We are daughters of our Heavenly Father,” how would women be regarded and treated? (Elaine Dalton, 4/13, emphasis added)
 How powerful to provide a contrast to what they are most likely already being bombarded with (or will be as adults)!
