We the Young People - Teen Inauguration Special

We the Young People - Teen Inauguration Special
PBS NewsHour and Student Reporting Labs presented a special for digital and broadcast distribution on January 14 highlighting the impact of young voters and exploring the change they want to see from the new administration. I watched a lot of this tonight, but it's confusing because you have to start 15 min. in! I have bookmarked the different sections for you:

Introduction

Yamiche Alcindor talks to 3 young women about representation and role models in media & politics

Student interviews a high school history teacher who says "don't take democracy for granted" & quotes from students about how they are feeling and what they want to ask.

Teen interviews 3 young elected officials

18 year old HS student who is a new voter discusses her thoughts on becoming a voter this past year with a teacher

Discussion with students who are teen MediaWise "fact checkers" about misinformation

Amna Nawaz interviews young activists who work on gun violence prevention, environmentalism, community safety & equity issues

Hope you and maybe some of your students enjoy this!
