While media is not the same type of political issue as abortion or taxes, the media plays a huge role in the political socialization of youth. The media can be used to get young people interested in politics (Rock the Vote & public awareness campaigns) and can be used to make the generation cynical about the system(negative campaign adds & scandal-focused reporting).

There has been a lot written about how the media (especially the growth of television) has made politics less party and more personality centered. Now with the Internet becoming an additional source of information for so many people, politics is becoming increasingly issue oriented too.

Please tell us your thoughts about the generation's (& your personal) attitude towards media. If you have seen newspaper articles, or read interesting stats, then forward them our way and we will be sure to include them in the book. If you are a part of the Millennial Generation, tell me if you have ever seen a Rock the Vote commercial. If you are not a part of the Millennial Generation, tell us if you think the media has a conservative or liberal bias and how it affects youth.	Send us your thoughts: Name: Email: Subject:
