Abstract
Abstract Instructors in the introductory American government course should consider the daily/weekly news gathering habits of their students when planning the course. Like the adult population as a whole, many college students are not well informed about current political events and participants. It is possible to restructure the course to emphasize the value of developing a daily “news habit,” while continuing to survey traditional American government course materials. Student surveys reveal significant increases in daily/weekly “news habits” as a result of new techniques introduced in the course, with the largest improvement occurring in daily newspaper reading.
