I doubt the show will reference the pregancy at all and think there is zero chance the Zoey character will appear pregnant on a Nickelodeon show aimed at kids.

I had no idea that there was going to be a fourth season of “Zoey 101″. You didn’t make it clear if Zoey was going to be pregnant on the show or not. But if so, I’m sure that the ratings will go right back down again. It would be such a disgrace to childrens’ T.V. that parents probably wouldn’t even allow their kids to watch it anymore. Some would probably even have a mind to block Nickelodeon alone. If I had a child, I would. It just brings television to a whole new low.
I, myself am not the type of person who completly hates the idea of teen pregnancy, but this just sets such a bad example for the millions of kids watching. Who’s to say if they’ll see the show and decide that it’s okay to go out and have unprotected sex and think that the conciquences won’t matter?
Anywho, I give the artical five stars.

The news got them a bunch of sampling. It’ll be interesting what the effect will be in the long run.

Tabloid coverage can be great in the short term. Angelina Jolie got her only real hit, Mr. and Mrs. Smith off of it.

The problem is that that kind of publicity can’t be sustained and turns a lot of people off who would have been your regular audience.

Most news broadcasts, especially local news, have used tabloid stunting again and again in search of a quick boost of ratings. Even printed newspapers have done this with frightening regularity. But the end result has been that local news’ ratings have lowered into irrelevance (and printed newspapers continue their slide which started in the 1970s, long before they could blame the internet for producing an uninteresting product).

To stray again from strictly television, but I think it applies, when I see the L.A. Times putting Paris Hilton on the front page, I stop taking the L.A. Times seriously and I stop reading it. The same applies to local news.

The lure of a quick ratings bump is paid for in the long run and unfortunately most media only care about the bump, not how it destroys their core business in the process.
