We know that 75
percent of American adolescents are online (U.S. Census, 2002) and 85
percent of all Internet users expect to find key news information online
(Horrigan and Rainie, 2002). Yet “the adolescents of the nineties are more
isolated and more unsupervised than other generations” (Hersch, 1998). The
tools of visual, media, and information literacy must be taught in school
because they will (or won’t) be used at home.
Responce:
When I read this quote I was surprised to
find out that this high of a percent of American adolescents were using the
internet to find key news information. I knew that adults found a lot of news
online, but I had no idea adolescents were also using this tool. I believe it
is great for them to know what is going on currently in the news. I then found this information below which is a youtube channel of news just for adolescents.
