Description

In this day and age social media often shapes our perception of the world around us, including political perceptions. Many people have become reliant on social media to provide news on current events, which can be dangerous because there is so much bias and fake news online. Therefore this study aims to explore the relationship between social media and political views, especially when it comes to younger generations that are arguably the most frequent users of social media. It is a secondary study that utilizes data from The Civic Network: A Comparative Study of the Use of Social Media for Enhancing Young People's Political Engagement.
