Description:
Over the last ten years, as youth have flocked to the Internet and social media such as Facebook, text messaging, and networked gaming, the media ecology of children, teens, and young adults has changed dramatically.
The MacArthur Network on Youth and Participatory Politics (YPP) is an interdisciplinary network of scholars working together to understand the ways youth participation in online networks is shaping and reshaping youth civic and political engagement in the public sphere.
