		Manage controversy to present more evidence of the health and other benefits of your program but make small concessions if necessary.
		From an early controversy in Kenya, where a TV show was taken off the air because a young girl slapped an older “Sugar Daddy” who tried to seduce her, to more recent pronatalist opposition in the former Soviet Republics, hindsight suggests greater attention should be paid to critical comments during pretesting.
		For example, in the Kenya TV episode, it was not the attempted seduction but rather the image of a girl slapping a man that aroused opposition; the message of refusing sex could have been conveyed more acceptably, though perhaps less dramatically without the slap, as pretests suggested.

		Yet, claims that the media incite or fan the flames of controversy are rarely more than a toss off line in studies about contested exhibitions.
		Rather than looking at how the media 'oversimplify' or 'amplify' controversy, the media will be understood as a conduit of discourse and a generator of dialogue.
		I conclude that it is not possible to implicate the media in controversies without looking at the role that museums and other stakeholders play in generating their interest in the first place.

	Sangchai Assassination: Media, Power and Politics in Thailand (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-09)
		The immediate spin of discourse in the Thai media, in particular the print media, was one which revolved around the notion that the murder was a direct result of the "media mafia" and the "corrupt system" of the Thai state enterprise.
		Judging from the media coverage as well as the reactions from the public on the case, it seems that the assassination of this high-profile public figure was felt across many circles.
		It is the purpose of this paper to examine the underlying power structure of the Thai media and a seemingly interlocking relationship between media, power, and politics and investigate the extent to which the system is "evil" or "corrupt" as constantly painted by the media itself.
