About

eighteen:twentynine was set up by Columbia University’s Graduate School of Journalism class of ‘09 students in Professor Ruth Padawer’s Reporting & Writing I seminar. Posted articles about the youth vote were written by the students before the election; many others will be added on Election Day.

The blog incorporates reporting, writing and multimedia to give the world an idea of how American youth views one of the most controversial presidential election races in recent history.

“eighteen:twentynine” refers to the demographic covered here: ages 18-29.
