Ryan O'Neal Pictures: Ryan O'Neal attends the 25th Anniversary Genesis Awards held at the Hyatt Regency Century Plaza on March 19, 2011 in Century City, California.
Every year, The Genesis Awards pays tribute to the major news and entertainment media for producing outstanding works that raise public awareness of animal issues. As much as film, television, print and the web reflect societal attitudes, they also help shape and change those attitudes. The mass media, in all its new and diverse forms, has the power to deliver animal protection issues to vast audiences at the click of a mouse.
