2016年，英国投票决定脱离欧盟。这一结果不仅出乎意料，而且有明确的地理和年龄界限。虽然65岁以上的人倾向于投票离开，但年轻选民更有可能投票留在欧盟。通过对7年新闻工作的反思，本文探讨了新闻媒体在英国退欧问题上代表年轻人的方式。它分析了2016年至2022年英国各地发表的700篇新闻媒体文章的数据库，相当于每个日历年100篇文章，从区域来源到具有国际影响力的来源。本文展示了年轻人如何占据新闻媒体的阈限空间，通过分析用于描述他们的政治参与的语言，并专注于他们在政治活动中的作用。由于它是这种媒体主导的霸权叙事在传统的政治领域，复述和代表年轻人的参与服务，我们认为，以加强他们作为公民的界限。
In 2016, the UK voted to leave the European Union (EU). This outcome was not only unexpected but also had clear geographical and age‐bound divisions. While people over the age of 65 tended to vote to leave, younger voters were more likely to vote to remain a part of the EU. Reflecting on 7 years of journalism, this paper explores the ways in which young people have been represented by the news media with regards to the issue of Brexit. It analyses a database of 700 news media articles published from 2016 to 2022 across the UK, equating to 100 articles per calendar year and ranging from regional sources to those with an international reach. The paper showcases how young people occupy liminal spaces within the news media through an analysis of the language used to describe their political participation, and a focus on their role within political activism. As it is this media that dominates hegemonic narratives within traditional political spheres, the retelling and representation of young people's engagement serves, we argue, to reinforce their liminality as citizens apart.
