Classic media such as radio and television continue to play a role in political education, but they are increasingly being supplemented \u2013 and in some cases replaced \u2013 by social media. What does this mean for the upcoming federal election? How do young voters inform themselves? Leonie Wunderlich<\/a> discusses all of this in the new episode of \u201cTonspur Wissen \u2013 der Podcast von Rheinischer Post und Leibniz-Gemeinschaft<\/span>” [Soundtrack Knowledge \u2013 The Podcast from Rheinische Post and the Leibniz Association].<\/p>\n

In conversation with Ursula Weidenfeld, Leonie Wunderlich emphasizes that family, friends and school have a greater influence on young people’s political education than social media. Nevertheless, content creators who communicate with teenagers and young adults on platforms such as Instagram, YouTube and TikTok at eye level also provide important points of reference for political opinion-forming. In addition, online offerings from traditional news providers play a relevant role in political news usage.<\/p>\n
