Why are young people so alienated from the world of politics? What
role should the news media play, both in informing young people
about the world, and in encouraging their political
participation?
In "The Making of Citizens," David Buckingham explores these
questions through an analysis of television news programs and
interviews with young adults. He traces the dynamic complexities of
young persons' interpretations of news and, and their judgements
about the ways in which key social and political issues are
represented. Rather than bemoaning what he sees as young people's
ignorance, he argues that we need to rethink what counts as
political understanding in contemporary societies, and suggests
that we need more engaging forms of factual reporting to
effectively connect with young people's changing perceptions of
themselves as citizens.
With material drawn from coverage of a variety of political
arenas, from the Million Man March to the environment, Buckingham
daringly enters the debate about citizenship and the responsibility
for the political education of our youth.
