Posted by meredith on 06-24-2009
2009 Virgin Mobile "FreeFest" (answers frugal music lovers' prayers by doing away with admission fees at this year's festival)
- Pac Sun's new exec (is the former president and CEO of Vans. And New Balance cobrands with Peanuts) (Label Networks) (WWD)
- The spread of teen dating violence (timed to coincide with Chris Brown's trial, DoSomething.org releases the results of their nation-wide survey. And MTV asks industry pros how Chris Brown's sentence will affect the singer's music career)
-Toyota Community Scholars (program honors 100 U.S. students who are proven leaders, both in the classroom and in their communities)
- Score one for 'Team Jacob' (the New Moon movie tie-in book cover is all about the teen wolf. Plus the allure of the girl detective) (EW) (Chasing Ray)
- Nick Jonas goes to Washington (to lobby for diabetes research) (MTV News)
- Millennial Dads (get a nod for taking their share of "the second shift." And the economic quandaries of quarterlifers) (Huffington Post) (Forbes)
- What MTV has in store (a glimpse at the eight new projects on tap, including "The Awesomes," an animated series about a bumbling superhero team and the "Teen Wolf" remake. Also Jessica Simpson returns to reality television with a show about different cultural standards of beauty. And summer ratings take a hit among the 18 – 49 set) (Variety) (Rolling Stone) (New York Times, reg. required)
- Don't believe the hype (about out-of-control teens. The Irish Times takes the media — on both sides of the Atlantic — to task for badmouthing a generation)
- More data on the rise of public interest jobs (among college grads. Bloomberg spotlights Amherst College. Also Gen Y prepares for a simpler lifestyle because of the recession) (USA Today)

Virgin mobile freefest how fitting lol. The company does have a low income phone for 10$ for 120 minutes. Its a great deal you should contact a Virgin associate about it fast, this deal is too big to pass up.
