The Making of Citizens explores the impact of contemporary new programming on the young, asking why it is failing to capture the interest and attention of young viewers.
Based on research conducted in Britain and the US, The Making of Citizens traces the dynamic complexities of young people''s interpretations of news, and their judgements about the ways in which key social and political issues are represented. Rather than bemoaning young people''s ignorance, he argues that we need to rethink what counts as political understanding in contemporary societies, suggesting that we need forms of factual reporting that will engage more effectively with young people''s changing perceptions of themselves as citizens.
The Making of Citizens provides a significant contribution to the study of media audiences and a timely intervention in contemporary debates about citizenship and political education.
