The way younger people get their news looks a lot different than it did a generation ago.
For many millennials and Gen Z, it’s not about watching the 6 o’clock news or reading the headlines in the Sunday paper.
Instead, it might be watching a quick video on TikTok, spotting a trending post on Instagram or listening to a favorite podcast on a commute.
MPR News host Catharine Richert and her guests talk about what’s shaping the way young people stay informed, what holds their attention, what doesn’t, and why it matters for the future.
Guests:
- Anne Guttridge is a video producer for MPR News and part of Reverb — an MPR News initiative and reporting team focused on serving younger Minnesotans.
- Olivia Cordova Kramer is a high school student at the Breck School in Golden Valley. She was a newsroom intern at the Minnesota Star Tribune.
