Marian Wright EdelmanWhen I started out as an activist, the issues were much clearer. There's advantage to the new media, but on the other hand, you miss the ability to frame an issue that you had when there were just three TV networks: CBS, NBC, and ABC.

It's so hard to get people to focus in a sustained way.
