Michael Zey of Management was interviewed by the Christian
Science Monitor about the reasons for the drop in network television
viewership among young adult men. Zey claimed that since males 18 to 24
now spend leisure time playing video games and surfing the Internet, networks
should make TV-watching more interactive, and also develop video game
adaptations of their top programs. The publication also interviewed Zey
on the impact of the retirement of the baby boomer population on the U.S.
and global economy. KNEW-AM in Las Vegas, Nev. interviewed Zey about his
views on the emerging economic outlook for 2004 and beyond. He also addressed
the State of California's Command College on the issue of future technology
trends. The Philadelphia Inquirer featured Zey in an article on
the impact of broadband communications on the U.S. and global economy.
