 Dawn's AM NotesReturn to index of stories... |
Beth/Kim: The script and questions look fine. I want to emphasize that Liz was not directly involved in the research about voter turnout. That is Mica and Tom's focus. Her research focuses on the sociological aspect of youth perceptions of politics. While she did not continue her research on late night political coverage, she did discuss the campaign with students and can provide the context to the numbers. Why are they hard to reach? What are their impressions of the candidates and rock stars. how engaged are they and why or why not? Please be prepared to take this conversation wherever it flows, the focus being on youth engagement and turnout. Will it be different next time? Thanks. Have fun. Dawn |

| Hello/Intro Youth Return to index of stories... |
Hello, I'm Beth Carroll -- we're broadcasting from the school's Institute of Politics --appropriate setting given the topic. It's been a little more than a week since Election Day --but sorting out what the numbers mean -- is far from over. In 2004 -- Pundits had targeted the Youth Vote as a potential game-breaker in the presidential election. 18-to-24 year olds were the target of one of the largest voter registration campaigns in US History. They were courted by Rock Stars -- Media celebrities and the candidates themselves. But, was this the "break out" year for the youth vote -- as so many had predicted?? Here to talk about that: Mica Stark, Director of Civic Education at the NH Institute of Politics at St Anselm College, Professor Elizabeth Ossoff, Research Center Coordinator at the Institute of Politics here at St Anselm College -- and Thomas DeRosa, a student here at the college, and one of our Voter Journalists -who shared his political views with us in the waning days of the campaign. Welcome to all of you. Q MIKA: Paint us a picture of what happened in the 2004 election? Was this a success story -- or does Much more need to be done? Q TOM: You participated in our Voter Journals project. You also worked to get students energized and registered-- Is the HIGHER student turnout rate in swing states "directly" related to Get-Out-The-Vote efforts??? Q LIZ OSSOFF: Your researched has focused on student perceptions of political candidates. and where young people get their information. Did you see anything different in this campaign? Q Exit Polls showed youth vote the SAME as in 2000 around 9%. What should we make of those numbers? Q Let's talk about the Numbers: Center for Information & Research on Civic Learning & Engagement. Nearly 20-million americans under 30 voted in 2004. That's a 4.6 million increase over the 2000 race. Turnout Rate: up 9.3% Q LIZ OSSOFF: Both Parties tried to HARNESS the youth Vote. With an estimated 9-million college students in America -- it's a voting bloc not to be taken for granted. Senator Kerry had a lead among college students -- what happened?? Q MIKA: There had been a lot of concern about young voters being DISCOURAGED from voting -- Did that FEAR materialize this year? Q LIZZ: Students that didn't vote -- what did they cite as the reasons?? Q TOM/LIZZ: "New Voters Project" targeted NH in hopes of REVERSING the trend of decling youth voting. Their Slogan: MAKE THEM PAY ATTENTION TO US. Do these numbers give CREDENCE to that message? Q MIKA: What were the Issues that seemed to RESONATE with young voters at the polling booth?? Q MIKA: What Lessons have we learned? Q Research shows Young people will vote when ASKED to do so. want to be invited to the party What does that mean for 2008???? THANKS to Mika Stark, Lizz Ossoff, and Tom DeRosa. |

Wednesday, October 10, 2004: Tonight's show was shot completely in the field and edited in Avid. That delayed us a bit because we had to pull some video for editing. We had to send Becky keys and credits, etc. While Becky worked on that show Adam directed tomorrow's show for the Veterans' Day holiday. We started taping just before 6pm. We stopped briefly to fix a key for Becky's show. We continued and cut promos for both nights. We finished the Veterans Day show shortly after 6:30pm. |
