Generation Next and the
Media |

The Generation Next Web site will host forums where
youth aged 16 to 25 can discuss the major issues facing
their generation. In this fifth installment, two Gen
Nexters tackle the relationship between their generation
and the news media.
Natalia Bailey, 18, and Ryan Walsh, 19, discussed
over e-mail whether Generation Next or the traditional
media deserves more blame for the way in which young
Americans have stopped reading newspapers and watching
television news.
