Hello people I have a problem with this text:

"I come to this discussion not as an expert with all the answers, but as someone searching for answers to an emerging medium that is not my native language. Like many of you in this room, I'm a digital immigrant. I wasn't weaned on the web, nor coddled on a computer. Instead, I grew up in a highly centralized world where news and information were tightly controlled by a few editors, who deemed to tell us what we could and should know. My two young daughters, on the other hand, will be digital natives. They'll never know a world without ubiquitous broadband internet access.

"We need to realize that the next generation of people accessing news and information, whether from newspapers or any other source, have a different set of expectations about the kind of news they will get, including when and how they will get it, where they will get it from, and who they will get it from.
While local tV news remains the most accesed source of news , the internet and more specifically ,internet portals ,are quickly becoming the favoured destination for news among young consumers..
And their attitudes towards newspapers are especially alarming. Only 9 percent describe us as trustworthy, a scant 8 percent find us useful, and only 4 percent of respondents think we're entertaining. Among major news sources, our beloved newspaper is the least likely to be the preferred choice for local, national or international news going forward.

Hi Casey24 and welcome to the forum!

Sorry, but this won't do!

I suppose you find the text a little difficult (and right you are, it certainly isn't all that easy to understand) and hope that we might just give you the right answers?!

We won't do that, you know, unless you show us that you have tried to do it yourself and failed.

Translate the text, look up the words you don't know. Should you still have problems understanding certain passages, we will gladly help.

Good luck,
Duckduck

I know the words but I have a little problem to find the correct expressions.

My first question:

Is this expression correct?
a) to be strongly influenced by something from a young age ( expression)

centralized? No, it's not correct, sorry. Might be "grew up ... tightly controlled", seems to be the only thing that makes sense  
b) found everywhere => why don't you find it? it begins with the letter "u"

c )trustworthy? OK

e) going forward OK

Are my thoughts correct?

Can you please help me with b) and c) at least?

At b) I have to guess :

ubiquitous ?

Here I have still no idea sorry?
hardly enough ; not as much as there should be ......

I posted one task not :

to be treated in an overprotective way :

Here I took the expression tightly controlled .

Is that wrong?

I would be glad if you help me.
