Session Abstract
Over twenty individuals born between 1977-1983, a microgeneration known as “Xennials,” were interviewed about how social media effects their opinions and perspectives of current events and how social media influences the way news is shared. The findings provide unique insights into how social media influences worldviews of this adult population.
