We’ve spoken at some length about the ‘depoliticization’ of American society. In addition, we’ve noted how young people don’t attend to news very much or have taken to getting their news from ‘alternative’ sources, like The Onion and The Daily Show.
An essay appearing in The Nation suggests that young people are underrepresented in mainstream media. Moreover, the voices and opinions of youth on important social topics is virtually absent from the mainstream media discourse.
