Youth + Media

Explore CIRCLE research on how different types of media ecosystems intersect with youth voter turnout.

Six Profiles of Media Ecosystems

News outlets, local nonprofits, digital access, and more form a community's media ecosystem. A strong one can give youth access to the information and support they need to vote and engage in civic life. A weak media ecosystem may leave youth without the knowledge and tools they need and lead to lower turnout.
