Does “Jersey Shore” Help Jersey’s Image?

A recent poll shows that people who have seen Jersey Shore may not have come away with a negative opinion about our summer getaway spot—or, at least their take isn’t any worse than it would have been otherwise. The results of the Fairleigh Dickinson University PublicMind poll show that Jersey Shore might actually have a slightly beneficial effect from a public-image standpoint. So, it seems as though all of that GTLing might not be such a bad thing for the Jerz after all. [Entertainment Weekly]
