El efecto de la atención a noticias en la participación política de los jóvenes en el Área Metropolitana de Monterrey, México. Un estudio longitudinal

Abstract

This study aims to determine the role of the media in the attention to news as a trigger for the political participation of young people, an essential factor for the development of democracy in the State of Nuevo León. With a longitudinal approach, it applies a quantitative cutoff methodology through two opinion surveys at different times. The most relevant results show that attention to news and policy programs does generate a positive interest in youth in this area, an interest that is expressed in the conventional political participation of young people, but not in the unconventional.
