Video Game DocumentaryFollow

Hello!

My name is Giovanni Paola – I am a Master’s student in journalism at The University of Western Ontario, in London, Ontario.

I am currently producing a documentary for A-Channel News (CHUM TV) on the legitimacy of video game addiction (whether or not it is legitimate). The documentary is set to air in April on the Southwestern Ontario CHUM TV affiliated stations. There have been several articles written in recent months on this subject.

For the feature, I need someone who considers themselves an "addict." Here are a few symptoms: craving more time playing games, neglecting family and friends, feeling restless when not playing video games, interference with school and/or work, changes in sleep patterns, withdrawal from other hobbies and social interactions.


Please let me know if you fit this description (or parts of it) and if you are interested in appearing in the documentary – it would be greatly appreciated. I am willing to drive to your city, so long that it is within a 3-4 hour radius of London.

I look forward to hearing from you.

Thanks,

Giovanni Paola

i have a suggestion for your documentary. somewhere in there put that "playing games is less likely for kids to be in gangs and do drugs," so our parents could be happy that we play games instead of gangbanging or smokin joints, lol.
