New Facebook Applications to Engage Youth in NewsKnight Foundation Grant to
Support Research Highlighting Social Networking's Impact on Teens and Young
Adults

MINNEAPOLIS / ST. PAUL – University of Minnesota researcher Christine
Greenhow and Seattle-based news aggregator News Cloud will test new ways to
engage youth in news and information by launching two social media
publications on the popular social networking site Facebook. The project is
being made possible by a $249,529 grant from the John S. and James L. Knight
Foundation.

University researchers, led by Greenhow, will investigate how online social
network sites like Facebook can engage youth in world events, build
community and generate real world impact. Greenhow's previous work
investigated the learning benefits of online social networking sites (
MySpace <http://www.myspace.com/> , Facebook <http://www.facebook.com/>) for
teenagers.

"Understanding how youth not only consume online information but manipulate,
produce and talk through it for social and educational purposes will move us
closer to understanding how to design and develop successful media-rich
environments," Greenhow said.
