    A Generation Without Representation How Young People Are Severely Underrepresented Among Legislators By: Maggie Thompson and Anisha Singh September 2018 A Generation Without Representation How Young People Are Severely Underrepresented Among Legislators By: Maggie Thompson and Anisha Singh Contents 1 Introduction and Summary 3 Methodology 4 Historically Old Legislators 5 Older Means Less Diverse Race and Ethnicity Gender and Sexual Orientation Disability Religion Education, Military Experience, and Family 12 Young Legislators Are More Conservative Than Young Voters 13 An Overall Lack of Power 14 Why This Matters 16 What Can Be Done 20 Acknowledgments 21 Endnotes Introduction and Summary For a representative democracy to function, it is essential that government reflects its people—whether by race, ethnicity, gender, sexual orientation, experience, age, or background. Diversity in leadership roles results in a more effective and fair government.1 By this measure, our democracy is dramatically failing younger Americans. Approximately 62 million Millennials were of voting age during the 2016 general election, according to Pew Research Center.2 In 2018, young voters, namely Millennials and Generation Z, are set to make up 34 percent of the eligible voting population.3 This gives young voters a larger share of the potential electorate than any other single generation.4 Yet, despite making up the largest potential voting bloc5 in the country today, young people are severely underrepresented at both the state and federal level. This representation gap impacts young people, and the issues they care about, directly. When elected officials aren’t representative of their constituents, this can lead to policies that are not responsive to the needs of the governed.

  • THE GLOBALGIRL MEDIA OVERVIEW “This Is Our World, and My Voice”
    THE GLOBALGIRL MEDIA OVERVIEW “This is Our World, and My Voice” www.globalgirlmedia.org 1. MISSION STATEMENT GlobalGirl Media (GGM) develops the voice and media literacy of teenage girls and young women in under-served communities by teaching them to create and share digital journalism designed to ignite community activism and social change. Through mentoring, training and access to a worldwide network of online distribution partners, GlobalGirl Media harnesses the power of new digital media to empower young women to bring their often-overlooked perspectives onto the global media stage. GlobalGirl Media’s model is unique in that it pairs GlobalGirl news bureaus in U.S. cities with bureaus in international cities, creating a peer-to-peer global online network of girls. As of June 2012, GlobalGirl Media has implemented initiatives in seven cities in South Africa, Morocco and the United States, training more than 120 girls and young women, who have produced 125 video features using traditional camera and sound; 85 mobile journalism pieces on I-pod touch devices; and 180 blog reports that were distributed through trans-media platforms, predominantly online, but also including print, broadcast TV and cable, cell phones, radio and social media. 2. OUR MODEL GlobalGirl Media partners with local non-profit and educational organizations to provide a rigorous, four-week program of education and training in new digital media and citizen journalism to groups of 15 to 20 girls, ages 16-21, who are selected in partnership with local NGOs and/or educational institutions. Instructed by seasoned media professionals, the girls first learn the fundamentals of journalism: identifying and telling a story; journalism ethics, using a camera, sound and technical equipment; digital/mobile story-telling; and social media as a tool for development.

  • Journalist Paola Ramos Joins Vice News As Correspondent
    JOURNALIST PAOLA RAMOS JOINS VICE NEWS AS CORRESPONDENT Ramos to join VICE News team expanding its coverage on immigration, America’s border crisis, and Latinx communities December 3, 2019 - Brooklyn, NY -- It was announced ​ today by Jesse Angelo, President, Global News and ​ ​ Entertainment, VICE Media Group, that journalist Paola ​ Ramos will join VICE News as a correspondent starting ​ this week. Ramos joins VICE as the company continues to expand its award-winning news division and political coverage. She will work across the newsroom’s myriad platforms including long-form content, with the upcoming Showtime documentary series ‘VICE’ slated to premiere ​ ​ in spring 2020 and VICE News’ flagship daily ​ broadcast, ‘VICE News Tonight,’ which will relaunch on ​ ​ VICE’s TV channel early next year. The newscast recently won five News & Documentary Emmy® Awards and remains the most highly-awarded nightly newscast for a second year in a row. “Paola is an extraordinary talent and has done some incredible reporting in her career. The depth of her coverage on the Latinx community goes beyond the typical stories of immigration and the crisis at the border, and taps into underrepresented issues that matter to Millenial and Gen Z viewers,” said Angelo. “She connects with audiences in ways that make her exactly the type of person we want to tell VICE News stories.” “I'm thrilled to join VICE News,” said Ramos. “2020 will go down in history as one of the most consequential years of our lifetime and I cannot think of a better platform to inspire and mobilize young people across the country.
