Violence in entertainment spokespeople?
 
Hey, got an English essay to write (term paper) about a controversial issue, and I figured it would be interesting to write about the controversy regarding how violence in various media formats affects our population.

At any rate, I'm needing to set up a research dialogue with 4 people (2 on each side of the issue) debating basically for 2000 words. Problem is, I'm not too certain who are well-known figures on this issue.

A few leads on people to look up would be awesome.

You could try Micheal A. Smith, his a journalist for ESPN maybe, idk his on Cold Pizza a lot. Few other people you could try would be Tony Kornheiser, and Michael Wilbon, they are both on Pardon the Interuption, which is a sports debate show, they usally have different view points on pretty much all topics. Another person you could use is Jim Rome, he has a nationally syndicated radio and tv program, Rome is Burning.

Jack Thompson (I think that's right) is a psychotic anti-gamer guy.

Yeah, I found him. I'm actually having trouble finding people who regularly defend the industry at the moment.

EFF or EEF or whatever. Penny Arcade's creators are pretty pro game too.

Looking mainly for well-known people, not sure how Penny-Arcade creators would stack up, but they're an option.

Thanks a lot!
