Youth Want a Voice in Youth News Coverage
Without a focus on youth identity, the representation of teenagers, especially youth of color, is missing from the journalistic record.
Last fall, Serena Pallan, a high school senior from Baltimore, Maryland, attended a program in the U.S. where she studied and interned with U.S. senators and student leaders from across the country.
“Our school newspaper was just cut,” she said. “The journalism class was just cut. When I do read about education policy [locally], the first person they [reporters] go to is teachers. They’re not really talking to students.”
Pallan noted that her ability to be civically involved was limited by the lack of youth voices in coverage of social media.
