It’s a common perception that youth seem uninterested or uneducated when it comes to the news, despite being “born digital” and proficient in social media platforms. In this week’s episode, we explore news and media literacy among youths. Is this a fair assumption? And if so, is it due to lack of exposure or awareness?

Here are the segments of the episode:

1:29 - Asia Calling 1 - Indonesia protects its waters

9:44 - Asia Calling 2 - India faces worst water crisis in decades

17:12 - Youth, Media and News - A Potent Mix?

This episode was produced by Sharyl Kaur and Muhammad Haniff Baharudin
