“…First, it is interesting to investigate whether the effects found among children also persist among older audiences. For instance, it may be relevant to investigate whether constructive news reporting is a solution for the decline in news consumption among young adults (Patterson, ; Wayne, Petley, Murray, & Henderson, ). In addition, one might question whether senior adults—who are generally shown to be more resistant to new formats in journalism (Kleemans, Schaap, & Suijkerbuijk, )—are willing to abandon their skepticism towards such formats when news includes constructive elements.…”

Children's Responses to Negative News: The Effects of Constructive Reporting in Newspaper Stories for Children

For a well-functioning democracy, it is crucial that children consume news. However, news can elicit overly negative emotions and discourage engagement in children. The question, therefore, is how news can be adapted to children's sensitivities and needs but can still inform them. This study investigated whether constructive reporting (solution-based narratives including positive emotions) in news about negative events improved emotional responses and encouraged engagement (intention and inspiration to engage). In an experiment, 8-13-year-olds (N = 332) read a story containing either constructive elements or not. Constructive news elicited lower levels of negative emotional responses and provided more inspiration for engagement than nonconstructive news. These promising findings open doors for follow-up investigations regarding constructive news reporting, also among adult audiences.

“…Media pay disproportionate attention to youth crime, both with respect to the facts and in comparison with other youth topics (Clark et al, 2008;Wayne et al, 2010). This coverage is the result of a journalistic production process, embedded in our current media landscape with an increasing number of media providing news (Strömbäck, 2008;Strömbäck and Esser, 2014).…”

Between 2007 and 2011, the number of registered juvenile suspects declined by 44 percent, but the Dutch public did not feel any safer. In this research, we study media coverage of youth crime and interview journalists and their sources in order to investigate the relationship between journalists, their sources, and the possible effects on the public with respect to fear of crime. We find an overrepresentation of youth crime in news coverage, especially in the popular press, and a stronger episodic focus over time. All media focus increasingly on powerful sources that focus on repressive framing, but this is especially found in the elite press. We conclude that news coverage in all media groups, although in different ways, does contribute to the fear of crime in society and the idea that repressive measures are needed. The fact that this fear of crime is also caused by news coverage is acknowledged, but neither journalists nor politicians are able or willing to change this.

“…Others are active in formal and voluntary global organizations, such as 350.org, Global Power Shift, Friends of the Earth, Gen Zero, and Climate Youth . Still others are politically engaged in more individualized and specialized ways, such as through issue-specific activism or low-threshold and part-time activities, e.g., promoting recycling or bicycling, signing petitions on social media, or consuming "green" products and following vegetarian or vegan diets (Ødegård and Berglund 2008, Ødegård 2009a, Fenton 2010, Ward 2010, Wayne et al 2010, Manning 2013. Many young activists concerned about climate change are expressing dissent through actions that challenge business-asusual economic and social policies, including their emphasis on economic growth (Escobar 2015).…”

The policies and decisions made today will influence climate and sustainability outcomes for the remainder of this century and beyond, and youth today have a large stake in this future. Many youth are expressing dissent toward economic, social, and environmental policies and practices that contribute to climate change in diverse ways, but clearly not all forms of climate activism have the same impact or repercussions. We have presented a typology for understanding youth dissent as expressed through climate activism. Recognizing the complex empirical reality of youth concerns about climate change, this typology has distinguished three types of activism as dutiful, disruptive, and dangerous dissent. By drawing attention to multiple ways for youth to express their political agency both within and outside of traditional political processes, we have highlighted and analyzed the diverse ways that youth are challenging power relationships and political interests to promote climate-resilient futures.Ecology and Society 23(3): 42 https://www.ecologyandsociety.org/vol23/iss3/art42/
