Abstract
This study finds that junior high and high school civic education can encourage people to develop political media use habits that persist over time. The findings are strongest for traditional media use and monitoring new media, and are weakest -- but still apparent -- for engaging in politics through social media. Pedagogy that includes discussion of current events and incorporates community-related activities are most strongly correlated with new/social media use. More conventional textbook and current events approaches are related to traditional media use. The study makes use of an original national probability survey.
